What does the Pageticker team say about Medusa Gorgon's Bad Hair Day?

Medusa Gorgon's Bad Hair Day is a gloriously funny mix of Greek mythology, school drama and spectacularly unruly hair. Bethany Walker makes Meddy's anger issues feel relatable without making them the whole story, whilst the diary format and lively illustrations should appeal to fans of Lottie Brooks and reluctant readers. A great choice for children who enjoy chaos, friendship problems and heroes who are still figuring themselves out.

What is Medusa Gorgon's Bad Hair Day about?

Twelve year old Meddy Gordon has serious anger issues. Using her diary to vent about family and school frustrations, she faces typical challenges like annoying sisters, troublesome classmates, and strict teachers. However, when she can't control her temper, her hair transforms into snakes! Meddy isn't from the 21st century; she's Medusa from ancient Greece, and she's angered Athena, the goddess of war. Now, Meddy must navigate mythical creatures and divine wrath in this hilarious, illustrated adventure.
