![]() I loved the fact that in this book Medusa is no longer just the "mean girl" character. The story line in this book is so fun! It's quick moving, there are silly jokes, and the way that the characters interact is perfect. Making new friends, realizing that sometimes you have to trust others, and even finally seeing how her "supercrush" really is on the inside. What's really sweet about Medusa the Mean is that you get to see her blossom. Despite everything else, this girl has dreams! She works hard for them and I see her as a way to teach young readers that if you work hard for something, chances are you can achieve it. Now here is why I love Medusa as a character. The thing is, Medusa isn't really all that bad! Sadly she's just been told her whole life that she isn't special, and that she shouldn't try. In this particular installment, we get to see a lot further into Medusa's past and why she earned the title "Queen of Mean". ![]() After all, I'm almost 30, and I love them still! Trust me, it's a ton of fun to read! Although these books are slated for Middle Graders, I see no reason why older aged readers wouldn't like them as well. This wonderful set of books is all about mixing classic mythology with modern day girls and guys. If you haven't yet discovered The Goddess Girls Series, allow me to introduce you. Can Medusa overcome her “meanie” status and prove that there’s more to her that meets the eye? But when the necklace brings about popularity in the totally wrong way, things go from bad to worse. So when she finds out about a necklace that promises just that, she’s sure it will help her get the two things she covets most: to be as popular as the four Goddess Girls and to have her supercrush, Poseidon, finally notice her. Immortality, she thinks, will solve everything. Not only is she surrounded by beautiful, powerful, immortal classmates, but she also has snakes for hair and a reputation for being mean. In Medusa the Mean, Medusa is sick and tired of being the only mortal at Mount Olympus Academy. Medusa is the ultimate mean girl in this series that blends modern drama with ancient myths.Well researched and true to the original myths, each volume in the Goddess Girls series addresses contemporary issues, like friendships and relationships, from a classically accurate-and entertaining-perspective.
