Medusa Jones by Ross Collins

4.0

Medusa Jones is teased for her snakey hair and the rumors that she can turn people into stone. This is a great choice for programs on bullying - I read a chapter of it to a group of 4th and 5th graders because this month the school I'm working at has an anti-bullying program going on and the kids ate it up. It's very similar to the Percy Jackson series in that it looks at Greek mythological characters with a contemporary twist. It's also not at all condescending or pandering in how it approaches the subject of bullying - Medusa and her friend's responses to, and how they ultimately with the bullies, are realistic and entertaining.
