Reviews
While ultimately Leo and the Gorgon’s Curse is a feelgood short it achieves its amiability without ever being frothy or superficial in delivery. There’s lots for the younger reader to take away and consider.
Broken Frontier
A beautifully illustrated graphic novel, there is plenty of vivid detail, humour and drama in the bright and colourful pictures, accompanying the story’s text in a variety of frame layouts on the thick, high-quality paper of the book.
What I Read
If you’re teaching about Ancient Greece then this will be a total must buy. It will give you a brilliant, creative way in to exploring Greek Mythology.
