Who Let the Gods Out? by Maz Evans

Disclaimer:  I am more than a little obsessed with Chicken House Books.  I may have been known to go to bookstores and look for any book with the Chicken House logo on it to purchase. After all, the company was started by the man who gave J.K, Rowling her break--Barry Cunningham.

Recommended for anyone who enjoys traditional literature, fantasy, mythology, and/or Rick Riordan

From Beetle Boy to The Girl of Ink and Stars, there are some amazing works coming from this publisher.  Who Let the Gods Out? by Maz Evans definitely is no exception.  From reading the blurb, I knew this was going to be a humorous book, but I didn't expect it to also be a touching book about family and friendship.

Elliot Hooper is trying his best to hold down his school work, his family farm, and his mom who is struggling with reality.  When Virgo, a 1,964 year old immortal girl, lands at Elliot's family farm to complete a simple mission that quickly becomes not so simple, the adventure begins.  With a group of ragtag Gods, Elliot learns that he is braver, stronger, more capable, and more important than he ever imagined.

With the lines between specific genres becoming more and more blurred, this book is a wonderful example of traditional literature mixed with fantasy.

Oh, one more thing:  best and worst cliffhanger EVER!  Best because it truly left me hanging and worst because it truly left me hanging.  I guess I should be thankful that the sequel will be released on August 3, 2017.  I must pre-order now!
