'One of the funniest new voices in children's literature. The laughs come thick and fast'DAVID SOLOMONS

When Elliot wishes upon a star, he doesn't expect a constellation to crash into a dungheap on his family farm.

The star is Virgo. She thinks she's perfect. Elliot doesn't. And together they release Thanatos, evil Daemon of Death ... epic fail.

They need the King of the Gods and his noble steed. Instead, they get a chubby Zeus and his high horse Pegasus.

Are the Gods really ready to save the world? And is the world really ready for the Gods?

An exciting, laugh-out-loud hilarious and highly-acclaimed Percy Jackson-esque adventure. Shortlisted for both the Waterstones Children's Book Prize and the Books Are My Bag Readers' Award. Hilarious and heartfelt, Who Let the Gods Out?is the first in a series centred on the Olympian gods - perfect for fans of Greek mythology!

Booklist Review

Virgo may only be 1,964, but she's certain she's mature enough to deliver an elixir to an immortal prisoner on Earth. So it surely can't be her fault when she crash lands on a farm and meets Elliot, who happens to follow her and accidentally releases the daemon Thanatos. Right? Now the other Constellations have stripped her of her powers, until she can return Thanatos to prison. Elliot's life is already complicated as he tries to care for his ill mum while saving the family farm, so Virgo's arrival and her ineptitude toward Earth customs just adds one more egg to his overflowing basket. With the help of the all-powerful, but retired, Zeus and a ragtag team of Olympians, can the young heroes thwart Thanatos' evil plans? While Elliot's epic adventures with Virgo will keep the pages turning, his growth as he learns to reach out for help in the most unlikely places keeps the story nicely grounded. Evans gives mythology fans a hilarious and heartening new series that can satisfy their Percy Jackson cravings.--Tomsu, Lindsey Copyright 2017 Booklist
