(3) YA A descendant of Medusa living in San Francisco, Gretchen Sharpe fights mythical monsters and vaporizes them with a single bite from her venomous fangs. Her newly discovered sisters, Grace and Greer, share Gretchen's monster-fighting fate, but the characters' acceptance of their heritage--and their new family structure--isn't easy. Percy Jackson fans will appreciate the sardonic commentary as myth mixes with modern life in this well-voiced novel.
Reviewer: Anita L. Burkam
