Maz Evans writes the kind of books that make children laugh out loud and stay up past bedtime. She is best known for Who Let the Gods Out?, a fast-moving adventure series in which a boy named Elliot discovers that Greek gods have taken up residence on a Dartmoor farm. The series ran to four main books between 2014 and 2019 and built a loyal readership for its broad comedy and genuine emotional heart.
