Medusa the Mean (Goddess Girls Book 8) Apr 3, 2012

by Joan Holub , Suzanne Williams

( 99 )

$6.99

Medusa wants to be more like her two sisters and the other kids at Mount
Olympus Academy -- immortal. Is that too much to ask? As one of the few
mortals at MOA, it's hard not to get jealous when you're surrounded by
beautiful, powerful goddessgirl and godboy classmates. And it isn't easy
making friends either, especially when you have snakes for hair and one
mean reputation!

When Medusa discovers an ad in her Teen Scrollizine
for the IMMORTALIZER, a necklace that promises immortality, this looks
like it could be her best shot at the two things she covets most: 1) to
be as popular as the four most popular goddessgirls--Athena, Aphrodite,
Persephone, and Artemis; and 2) to have her supercrush, Poseidon,
finally notice her. But when the necklace brings about popularity in the
totally wrong way, things go from bad to worse and Medusa fears that
she'll never get the things she wants so much.

Can this "meanie" turn it all around and prove that there's more to her that meets the eye?

( 51 )

$4.99

Zeus and his friends discover another Olympian who might be able to help in their quest to defeat King Cronus in this Heroes in Training adventure.

With a clue from their trusty oracle, Pythia, Zeus and his Olympian friends are off to the “Land of Grapes,” where they discover a festival. The headline act is Dion and the Goat Guys, and Zeus has a funny feeling this Dion guy might be one of them. Athena points out that this Dion guy is the right age, and he’s definitely not acting like a regular kid. Finally, Dion and the Goat Guys take a break, and Zeus and the other Olympians approach him.

Zeus informs him that he and the others are Olympians, and they think Dion might be one too. Dion (short for Dionysus, he tells them) starts to brag that he wouldn’t be surprised, because he has awesome talents and magic powers. Before the Olympians can ask him about his powers, some of the crowd members start to throng the Olympians. Are they really Olympians? Are they really going to defeat King Cronus? Dion looks kind of peeved about this, and the next thing the Olympians know, they are in a field somewhere, puzzled and not sure what happened.

What kind of magical powers does this Dion kid actually have? And will he be more of a help—or a pain—in their ultimate quest to defeat King Cronus once and for all?
