Perseus and Medusa
by Blake A. Hoena
by Blake A. Hoena
Summary (from goodreads.com):
Young Perseus grows up unaware of his royal birth. Before he can claim his heritage, the hero is ordered to slay a hideous monster named Medusa, whose gaze turns men into solid stone. How can he fight an enemy he cannot even look at?
Review:
A great retelling of the famous myth in graphic novel format. This is a Stone Arch publication so it has all the extra goodies teachers and librarians want to see at the back as well - more about the myth, discussion questions, writing prompts, and a glossary! Definitely a fun story for kids to read about and a great way to learn about mythology. And did I mention it was a graphic novel? *loves graphic novels*
Recommended for 3rd grade and up.

This was a nomination for the Cybils. I love Stone Arch, too! =)
