Description


Twelve-year-old Meddy Gordon has serious anger issues…

‘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

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.

page and with loads of mythological facts so your teachers can’t

complain!’ – Lisette Auton
