Elliott is trying to care for his mum, who is poorly and they are at risk of losing their home. However, everything changes, when a shooting star crashes to earth. The star is Virgo – a young Zodiac goddess on a mission.
The book has been shortlisted for many awards, including the Waterstones Children's Book Prize and the Carnegie Medal.
The pair set out on an adventure and accidentally release Thanatos, a wicked death daemon imprisoned beneath Stonehenge, and as a result they must then turn to the old Olympian gods for help.
After centuries of cushy retirement on earth, are Zeus and his crew up to the task of saving the world – and solving Elliot's problems too? A mixture of adventure and humour in this, the first tile, of a new series.
