Full Description
"Packed with laughs, legends and just the right amount of
chaos - I loved it!" - Tom Vaughan, author of Hercules:
the Diary of a (Sort of) Hero
"A laugh-a-minute hair-raiser of hilarity, brimming with
character and brilliantly illustrated; you HAVE to read this one!"
- Alex Foulkes
Twelve-year-old Meddy Gordon has serious anger issues...
In this hilarious book for middle-grade readers, Meddy
rants about family and friendships, using her diary as a
way of letting out her anger and keeping her emotions in check.
So far, so normal. You know the kind of thing: frustrations with
her self-absorbed sisters; problems with idiotic classmates; disagreements
with pompous teachers; and, of course, her troubles
dealing with the occasional flock of owls, swarms of snakes, or even
the odd many-headed dog.
And then there's the small problem of the snake hair that
appears if she doesn't control her anger...
You see, Meddy Gordon is not actually from the twenty-first century.
She is, in fact, a human from ancient Greece and she has made
a powerful enemy.
Meddy G is MEDUSA and she
just happens to have angered Athena, the goddess of war. And what
happens when the goddess of war is on the warpath? You get a bad
day. A very bad day indeed.
Meddy Gorgon is loosly based on the famous Greek myth of Medusa,
ideal for young fans of Greek mythology!
A highly illustrated book, great for fans of Loki and Lottie
Brooks.
Funny and fantastic illustrations by Katie Abey who has illustrated
over fifty books for children.

"I gobbled up Medusa's
diary. It's gripping, fun and children are going to love the abundant
illustrations. [...] Bravo Bethany Walker: that's storytelling
worthy of the Gods." - Jenny McLachlan
"Guaranteed to make you snort out loud at least once per
page and with loads of mythological facts so your teachers can't
complain!" - Lisette Auton
