Praise for Medusa"Im in love with this book. Like the best Pixar movies, Katherine Marshs Medusa is full of layers." Jennifer La Garde, The Adventures of Library Girl! "Here is a novel that casts young people as agents of that change, while acknowledging the risks they face when adults, or a pack of patriarchal gods, lie in wait to silence those who speak truth to power. In this feminist retelling, girls take the lead while boys support and trust them." The New York Times "Sound the sirens! Katherine Marsh has gifted us with the Greek mythology series we didnt know we were missing!" Melissa LaSalle, The Book Mommy and What to Read to Your Kids "A unique and distinctly feminist fantasy series launch set in a contemporary world." Publishers Weekly (starred review) "A fast-paced adventure offering a fresh, feminist take on popular themes." Kirkus Reviews "A story flipping traditional mythology and the voices telling them on their head starring a resourceful, brave Gorgon. Suggested where mythology stories are popular.
