Against All Gods
In the series finale of Maz Evans' bestselling Who Let the Gods Out? series, Elliot faces his darkest period yet. As well as facing up to his fears, he realises that the future of mankind - and the survival of everything he holds dear - is at stake. But can a bunch of misfit gods, a lost constellation and a mortal boy stand up to the daemon hordes?
The epic conclusion to Maz Evans' bestselling series, full of humour and heart.
Beyond the Odyssey
Elliot Hooper’s life has got worse. To save his mum he must now go beyond the mortal realm on an odyssey of his own.
What of the heroes and monsters he’ll meet? Odysseus himself, Poseidon, a Cyclops or three, not to mention the ever-evil Daemon of Death. At least he has cosmic shipmates to help: Zeus, Virgo and Hypnos. Right?
This is no ordinary boat trip and it might just take them to the bottom of the ocean for a potion that may not even exist . . .
The raucous third book in Maz Evans’s divine Who Let the Gods Out? quartet.
Simply the Quest
Elliot Hooper’s troubles are far from over.
His mum’s health worsens, he’s struggling at school, and a bunch of anarchic Greek immortals have moved into his home – including teen goddess Virgo, who’s in trouble with the Zodiac. What’s more, death-daemon Thanatos and his scary mum are at large. As even more immortal allies and enemies emerge, Virgo and Elliot must learn how to be heroes …
The stakes are higher than ever in the raucous sequel to Maz Evans’ bestselling anarchic romp, Who Let the Gods Out?.

Maz Evans
Maz Evans is a bestselling, award-winning author – she just doesn’t do either terribly often. She is the proud creator of the WHO LET THE GODS OUT?, VI SPY and SCARLETT FIFE series for children, and OVER MY DEAD BODY and THAT’LL TEACH HER for adults, which have collectively travelled to 24 countries. Her work for children has garnered over 50 nominations, including the Carnegie Medal, Branford Boase, Books Are My Bag, Waterstone’s Children’s Book of the Year and Indie Children’s Book of the Year.
Not content with being a mediocre author, Maz has also committed to mediocrity as a scriptwriter and lyricist and is proud to be bringing both average skills to the stage adaptation of WHO LET THE GODS OUT? which will be produced by Polka Theatre, London in 2026.
Maz believes passionately in the power of words, the importance of stories and the necessity of kindness. She doesn’t believe in horoscopes, teeth-whitening toothpaste or anyone who relies on the word “literally”.
