BOOK LAUNCH! Medusa Gorgon's Bad Hair Day Sep 08 2025
NewsPacked with laughs, legends, and just a dash of chaos, Medusa Gorgon’s Bad Hair Day is a hilariously energetic adventure perfect for middle grade readers!
Published by Scholastic, this brilliantly funny book—written by Bethany Walker and brought to life by Katie Abey’s quirky, vibrant illustrations—has all the ingredients for a laugh-out-loud read.
The story follows Meddy Gordon, a girl with serious anger issues (and a diary full of rants to prove it). Whether it's her self-absorbed sisters, clueless classmates, pompous teachers, or the occasional run-in with owls, snakes, an many-headed dogs—Meddy’s frustrations are never-ending. And then there’s the really big problem: if Meddy loses her temper, her hair literally turns into snakes. Because here’s the twist—Meddy isn’t your average modern-day teen from the 21st century. She’s actually from ancient Greece, and she’s made one very powerful enemy. Meddy G is Medusa, and she’s managed to annoy none other than Athena, goddess of war. And when Athena’s on the warpath… you’re in for a very bad day.
Loosely inspired by the legendary Greek myth, Medusa Gorgon’s Bad Hair Day is the perfect pick for young fans of mythology, humor, and fast-paced fun. To celebrate the launch, Katie Abey joined readers at Nomad Books in Fulham for a lively release party.
This laugh-out-loud adventure is available now—so grab your copy and dive into Meddy’s outrageously funny, ancient Greek inspired adventures. And don’t forget to watch out for news of Medusa’s upcoming book tour!
If you’d love Katie to bring her trademark wit, charm, and sparkle to your next project, please reach out to your dedicated agent for details.
