A review by pkadams
Medusa Jones by Ross Collins

3.0

The audience for this book is rather small -- young readers who have in-depth knowledge of gorgons, Greek pantheon, and ancient mythology. Collins imagines a world where Medusa with her unkempt snake hair is a child and attending school with the other creatures from Greek mythology (the children of the gods and goddesses) as well as Chiron and even her puppy the 3-headed Cerberus. As you can imagine Medusa is part of the "odd" crowd and that poses problems for her in her status-conscious school. Her mother insists that she can't turn anyone into granite. That rule makes most of the Champions (aka the cool kids) doubt that she can actually do it.
