It's about a gorgon with red eyes. The persus son of the the god Zeus could stone itself.

I liked the Gorgon because she turned people into stone! Her hair was made of snakes. Perseus was a hero and saved the princess and his mum.

I liked Perseus & Andromeda The book was scary& romantic so the last 10 pages were romantic and medusa was scary and the animal Cetus was dangerous but our hero in the book named Pereus saved the day and the book!

I loved it, it's greatly illustrated. I think it was fun to read and adventurous. I would definitely recommend this book because of the text it's descriptive and challenging with name sometimes. I like Greek mythology as well as a good story about Greek mythology. So liked it!

Perseus was very brave. He made me laugh when he took the eye of the witches.

I liked the Cetus the most because he is sea monster and he eats humans! I would recommend it!

It is a scary heroic book. I like Cetus the best. It is another interesting fiction. I recommend it for those that like scary books.

I liked about the book that Perseus killed Gorgon and also he saved the princess from Sea monster, and he used the Gorgons head to turn sea monster into a stone.

I thought this book was based on a myth. My favourite person was Perseus because he was brave. I would recommend to someone who is learning about Ancient Greece, like I did.
