From the authors of the Goddess Girls and Heroes in Training series comes the fourth book in the School for Magical Monsters series about Medusa working to unlock her magic power—part of the Aladdin QUIX line! Medusa is a Beast at the School for Magical Monsters who’s waiting for her magical power. It’s too bad her wiggles don’t count because she is full of them! She calls them her wiggle-worries, although she wiggles if she’s happy or excited, too. When her teacher Mr. Cyclops announces a big art project, Medusa knows it’s her big chance to prove herself and finally earn her power! Medusa decides to create special messages of kindness, picking out cool rocks to write fun sayings on them like You Rock, Give Hugs, and Have a Great Day!

(You say my name like this: mih-DOO-suh .) I have two sisters my exact same age who look a lot like me. We’re triplets.   My sisters are excellent at doing magic spells. So they get to go to a school for super spellers. They’re goddesses. But I’m just a Beast girl, with no magic power.   Too bad that wiggling is not a magic power. Because I’m full of wiggles. So full that I have a hard time keeping still. I wiggle when I’m mad. And when I’m happy. I wiggle when I have a question. Or when I’m excited. Sometimes my wiggles get me into trouble. That does not make my sisters proud of me. Sigh.   My fingers are crossed that someday I’ll earn a magic power like they have. Could happen. Because, guess what? A month ago I got invited here to this outdoor school atop Mount Olympus in the country of Greece . It’s called the School for Magical Monsters!   Twelve monsters go to my school. Six of us are Beasts, and six are Creatures . It’s easy to tell us apart. Beasts like me wear a beanie with a big B on the front. Creatures wear caps with a C.   Even though I’m a Beast, I look like a human girl. So I’m not really sure why I got chosen to go to this awesome school. But I’m glad I did. It’s the best ever! We get to make and do tons of fun stuff in our classes.   Sometimes we Beasts and Creatures do not get along, though. Our teacher, Mr. Chiron , helps us work together, hoping we’ll all become friends. He’s a centaur (half human and half horse) and is supercool. We twelve monsters await him in the flower-covered Mighty Meadow right now.     Waiting is not my best subject. When will our teacher get here? I wonder. I wiggle and hop from one foot to the other. I weave my hair into ten fat braids. I sniff the flowers. I sniff a long, curly green weed. Oops! That’s not a weed. It’s my friend Cerberus ’s dragon-like tail!        His three dog heads growl at me. He’s a Beast too. But unlike me, he’s big and scary-looking. Yikes!   “Sorry,” I say as I back away from him. Thonk! I bump into a very tall pole. More poles like this one stand in a wide circle around us. Each has a colorful flag at its top. Suddenly those flags start to wave in the wind. Whoosh!   Finally! Here comes our teacher, galloping across the meadow toward us. Clip-clop! Clip-clop!   We gather around Mr. Chiron. I wonder what he will ask us to make or do today.   “Good morning, students. Time for a new project!” he says, greeting us. “Today I want each of you to choose an object from nature. Then turn it into some kind of useful art by the end of class.”   Yay! When I hear this, I can’t help doing a happy wiggle dance. Uh-oh . I step on Cerberus’s tail.   “Grrr,” he says.   “Sorry… again,” I whisper.   “S’okay,” he mutters.   I grin at him and back off, still wiggling with joy. Because art is my favorite subject! I already know what I’m going to make. You see, I like to collect stones. I paint happy art on them along with encouraging words. So today’s project so
