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 Hercules: the
Diary of a (sort of) Hero and Lottie Brooks.
Funny and fantastic illustrations by Katie Abey who has illustrated
over fifty books for children.
“Packed with laughs, legends and just the right
amount of chaos - I loved it!” - Tom Vaughan, author
