The Gorgon's Gaze by Julia Golding (reviewed by Kristi Davis)

The thing that I liked the most about this book is that some of the people are paired with different magical creatures that are not supposed to exist. Like unicorns, storm-birts, and dragons. The main character, though, is the only one through the whole book who is paired with all the creatyres and has powers the rest of the people don't have. I like how Col and Connie save each other from Kullervo the evil shape-shifter. I liked it also when Connie got another specific companion other than the shift-shaper. Her other specific companion is Argans the golden undefeatable dragon. It made me angry when her great-aunt took her away to her prison-like house where she forbid Connie to talk to or have anything to do with the society.
