Mr B's review
Trixie knows that the Gods have stolen electricity from Earth. She knows it like she knows the sky is blue. But she will need the help of trickster gods from all different cultures to help her break into the home of the Gods and save electricity. Brilliant storytelling combined with awesome illustrations make this the perfect adventure for fans of Loki and Who Let the Gods Out.
Description
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.
