Re-telling of the story of Medusa, from her POV. Good in the sense of encouraging children to think a little more critically about their sources of information, though it still feels wrong to bowdlerize Medusa's suffering.

This really cute book tells the story of Medusa from her perspective. It teaches kids about Greek Mythology and how to look at a story from someone else’s perspective. It also has a glossary and the pictures are really cute.
Good book for kids
Enjoyable rendition of a great Greek myth, made interesting and light hearted. Suitable for 4+ age groups. Thanks for this.

Enjoyed the storytelling of Medusa's side and the artwork.
The reading level of this title is perfect for early chapter book readers, once you are familiar with the Greek terminology and names. The text is in large type and not too lengthy, and the illustrations are colorful and dynamic. A good choice for kids who aren't quite ready for the Goddess Girls series.
