We are ready to grab our lances and hop on our steeds to announce the third and final book in the Gods Squad series. Written by Maz Evans with stunning cover illustrations by Aleksei Bitskoff, this collaboration first began with the best-selling Who Let The Gods Out? series, shortlisted for the Waterstones Children's Book Prize.
OH WHAT A KNIGHT! hits the bookshelves mid-September and there are hordes of budding fans ready and waiting to grab their copies. With a rich, metallic blue cover and a trademark series styling, this book is sure to leap off the shelves into fans hands. Along with OH MAYA GODS! and OH MUMMY MIA! this final book in the series makes a handsome set. With jokes and jeopardy, this new series will have everyone on the edge of their seats!
The new Gods Squad heroes are football-loving Vesper and super-bright Aster, the children of Elliot and Virgo the heroes from the previous series, Who Let the Gods Out? It's their turn to take on the world's worst-behaved immortals, beginning with Maya bad boy, Kizin, then on to wicked Egyptian god Seth.
In the third and final instalment we join Vesper and Aster in another hilarious new adventure - they need Excalibur to save the world!
At the top of Glastonbury Tor, they find an elevator down to the enchanted realm of Camelot, where Arthur has been waiting for this day. The elderly King and his loyal knights snap to attention – at last they have a quest! But Excalibur will only serve its chosen master, what would anyone do with such power? Will Vesper and Aster return in time to defeat the daemons vying to rule the world?
Oh What a Knight! publishes on the 12th September with Chicken House Books! Read an extract HERE and pre-order your copy from your local books shop via Hive.
