About The Book

Trixie dos Santos is obsessed with trickster gods, so when the world is plunged into darkness, she knows who can bring back the light.

Loki, Maui and the Monkey King join her on the hugest adventure, but can Trixie keep these maverick saviours in line? Shining a light on epic myths from cultures across the world, Old Gods New Tricks is at once a heart-racing and fascinating read.

Full of heart and humour, it has the potential to spark a lifelong interest in folklore and legends. Thiago's distinctive artwork brings these tricksy gods to life, creating a truly unique and unforgettable package.

'A little piece of mythological magic . . . a triumph.' - Maz Evans, author of Who Let the Gods Out?
