Overview
Get ready for gods, giggles, and Greek mythology gone hilariously wrong with this five-book collection from bestselling author Maz Evans. Follow accidental hero Elliot Hooper as he stumbles into a world of squabbling Olympians, daemon disasters, and one bossy teenage zodiac goddess named Virgo. Blending laugh-out-loud humor with real heart, these brand-new paperbacks tackle family struggles, friendship, and courage alongside epic mythological quests. Perfect for fans of Percy Jackson, this collection introduces classical myth to confident middle-grade readers who love fast-paced, funny fantasy adventure with a very British sense of humor.

About the Books
This collection brings together Maz Evans's beloved Who Let the Gods Out quartet with a bonus adventure from her spin-off Gods Squad series. It begins when schoolboy Elliot Hooper, struggling with his mum's illness and family troubles, wishes on a falling star and accidentally frees Thanatos, a menacing daemon of death, alongside Virgo, a spiky teenage zodiac goddess. Forced to enlist a very out-of-shape, retired Olympian pantheon, Elliot and Virgo find themselves on a quest for magical chaos stones that only grows more dangerous with each new title. Across Simply the Quest, Beyond the Odyssey, and Against All Gods, the stakes rise as ancient enemies resurface, Elliot's home life grows more complicated, and the gods prove just as chaotic as the daemons they're meant to be fighting. The included Oh Maya Gods, opening book of Evans's Gods Squad series, shifts the spotlight to a new generation of heroes tackling Mayan mythology with the same irreverent wit that made the original series a hit. Throughout, Evans balances slapstick comedy with genuine emotional depth, tackling illness, family pressure, and self-belief without losing the jokes. Young readers get an accessible, funny entry point into world mythology, while parents and teachers appreciate how the stories model bravery, teamwork, and resilience. Fast chapters and larger-than-life characters make this an ideal set for reluctant readers and mythology fans alike.
