Description
Meddy G is back for a new term at school, and unlike last time, everything is TOTALLY fine... She's finally settled into the twenty-first century life and everything is going well... apart from her stress levels which are worse than ever, so much so that she accidentally turns one of her teachers to stone!
You see, Medusa may be living in the twenty-first century, but she's still the famous Medusa Gorgon from ancient Greece. And it seems that her teenage angst comes served with a stoney side-eye.
To make matters worse, when new boy Percy shows up, she seems to go into a very strange daze. Meddy can't understand why her words get muddled and her cheeks heat up every time she's around him.
But little does she know that Percy has been sent by Athena to cause yet more chaos in Medusa's new life. Because Percy is actually Perseus, and he's been sent on a mission to take Meddy G down for good...
The second book in the laugh-out-loud series Medusa Gorgon's Bad Hair Day.
Meddy Gorgon is loosely 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.
