When Medusa (Dusie) Gorgon wakes up with snakes for hair, the thirteen-year-old half-human discovers that her teen years might be extra complicated, considering a single look can turn people to stone. Parallels with the more conventional changes of adolescence are a trifle obvious, but Dusie's--and her snakes'--complex personalities will keep readers interested in this takeoff on Greek mythology.
