Can you tell me more about the book?
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?

Who Let the Gods Out - Reviews
Funny, witty, inspired and utterly contemporary, this fantasy thriller/adventure is a magical blend of ancient and modern, with brilliant characterisation and a truly human story at its heart.
Booktrust
This is a really interesting, super-fun book … an amazing book!
The National Geographic Kids
This book is packed full of classical gods brought bang up to date with wonderfully ironic humour.
The Guardian
A relentlessly witty, fast-paced middle grade adventure … This book is a page-turner littered with belly laughs that any adult will zip through.
