Medusa

By Jessie Burton | Illustrated by Olivia Lomenech Gill

🐍 A Powerful Retelling of a Timeless Myth

In Medusa, author Jessie Burton reimagines one of Greek mythology’s most misunderstood figures — the girl turned into a monster. This stunning novel gives Medusa her own voice, showing her not as a villain, but as a young woman who has suffered, survived, and found her own power.

After being cursed and forced to live alone on a remote island, Medusa’s only company is the creatures she has created — snakes that coil in her hair. However, when a stranger named Perseus arrives, everything begins to change.

💫 A Story About Fear, Beauty, and Freedom

Through Medusa’s eyes, the story explores what it means to be judged for how you look, and how pain can be transformed into strength.
Jessie Burton blends myth and emotion beautifully, creating a powerful feminist retelling that feels both ancient and modern.
In addition, the stunning illustrations by Olivia Lomenech Gill bring the world of the story to life, adding depth and atmosphere to every page.

❤️ For Young Adults and Myth Lovers

🌙 A Tale That Stays With You

Medusa is more than a myth — it’s a reminder that power can be found in silence, and beauty in strength.

Finally, Jessie Burton’s writing transforms an ancient legend into a timeless story of resilience, love, and self-acceptance.
