The Review

Maz Evans, the mastermind behind the beloved Who Let the Gods Out? series, returns with a riotous spin-off that is sure to captivate readers young and old alike. In Oh Maya Gods!, Maz introduces us to a new generation of heroes: Vesper and Aster, the children of Elliot and Virgo, who are destined to tackle the chaos of the immortal world with their own unique flair.

The first book in the new Gods Series lays a solid foundation for what promises to be an unforgettable adventure, taking us to meet the Gods and legends from Maya, Ancient Egypt and Camelot along the way. Packed with edge-of-your-seat action, belly laughs, and heart-warming moments, it’s a book that will delight fans of all ages.

From the very beginning, we are plunged into a world where Maya mythology collides with modern-day. The story crackles with energy as Vesper and Aster find themselves confronted by the mischievous Maya bad boy, Kizin, and his motley crew of Lords and Ladies of Death. With football-loving Vesper and super bright Aster at the helm, the stage is set for an uproarious showdown between mortal wits and divine follies.

With its irresistible blend of humour, heart, and mythology, Maz once again proves herself to be one of the funniest storytellers in children’s literature today. But I know not to get too comfortable – like Elliott, I’m still not over Josie-mum. Oh Maya Gods! is a hilarious romp through the Maya world of mythological mischief, that has left me eagerly anticipating the next instalment in this uproarious saga – Oh Mummy Mia!

Huge thanks to Chicken House for sending me an early copy. I’m delighted to be back in the #GodSquad!
