Who let the Gods out? - Author Maz Evans

Who Let the Gods Out?

Elliot’s life is falling apart — his mum is seriously ill, and they’re on the brink of losing their home. Then a shooting star crashes into a nearby field, and everything changes. The star turns out to be Virgo, a young (and slightly bossy) Zodiac goddess on a mission. But when they accidentally release Thanatos, a death daemon imprisoned under Stonehenge, Elliot and Virgo are forced to team up with the ancient Olympian gods — now living incognito on Earth — to stop him.

Hilarious, fast-paced and full of heart, this is the first book in Maz Evans’ bestselling Who Let the Gods Out? series — a brilliant mix of Greek mythology, modern life and laugh-out-loud adventure.

Why we — and schools — love it:

• Combines mythology and real-life issues (like caregiving and family illness) in a relatable, age-appropriate way.
• Rich vocabulary and comedic timing make it perfect for upper primary and lower secondary readers.
• Encourages discussion around empathy, resilience and making difficult choices — with a big dose of humour.
