What a sweet unique coming not age story. Everything wrapped up rushed & too neat but I enjoyed it. I'd love to read a sequel

I didn't like the main character for about half of this. The ending was good though, and Dussie and her life got a bit more interesting by the end of the story. Cy was a good character. Overall, I felt that there were a lot of plot holes and areas that lacked necessary expansion. At least it was short. 3 stars.

This story was very cute, comical and entertaining. The relationship between Dusie and her snakes was intriguing and strange. Hearing internal voices in your head, or rather, snippets from the exterior part of your head, would be creepy and bothersome. Yet with Dusie, the snakes designed the structure of her well-rounded character. The internal beauty of Dusie out-shined the intimidating appearance in the eyes of her friends and family. An important ideal was threaded in the text: in order to receive love, one must give love. This is true, however, I believe that one shall give love without expectations. I recommend this book to people of all ages. It is truly a happy read.

How lucky! Yet another worthy successor to the Percy Jackson series... This one's set in modern-day NYC.

I read this book a long, LONG time ago and I have to say it was one of the best books for teaching me about self love and self esteem. Would highly recommend for mythology obsessed youngsters who need a pick-me-up in that department.

13 year old learns the hard way she's half Gorgon when her hair turns to snakes overnight. Fun and well-written

Very interesting take on mythological characters with a modern twist. The emotional development does not ring true in the end and the addition of the old man character feels awkward but a nice story with themes of loving and accepting yourself.

Snakes growing from her head! Wowzers! Dussie is a quick fun read. My only problem was it was over to soon. Fun times in NYC if you are half gorgon!
