Description
A hilarious and highly illustrated diary of Medusa Gorgon, a twelve-year-old girl who’s actually from ancient Greece. She’s angered Athena, goddess of war, which means a very bad day indeed. A book inspired by Greek mythology and great for fans of Lottie Brooks.
Twelve-year-old Meddy Gordon has serious anger issues. She writes a diary about her life, describing her experiences at home and in Year 7 at Shadewell Academy in the twenty-first century. So far, so normal, right?
You see, the thing is, 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.
