Medusa’s always been the odd one out: the monster in the classroom, the kid who can’t tame her snake-laden hair, and yes, the girl who perhaps accidentally zapped a few too many class pets. She tries to be careful. She tries to stay away, but inevitably well . . . ZAP! It always leaves her feeling just a little bit monstrous. But there just might be a class pet that even Medusa can enjoy, one who will teach her how monstrously wonderful it is to be seen-by being herself. With its humor and important themes, Medusa’s Pet Rock is sure to enchant young readers as it’s: A Clever Spin on Medusa’s Story: Everyone thinks they know the story of Medusa and her snake hair that turns people into stone. Medusa’s Pet Rock introduces young readers to an infamously misunderstood character from Greek mythology in an accessible and age-appropriate way.
