Who Let the God's Out?, written by Maz Evans, reviewed by Todd Erickson

Summary: 12 year-old Elliot's mom is a wreck and he's failing out of school, but it's up to him to save the family farm with the help of a new girl at school. His partner in crime, is Virgo, the almost 2,000 year-old immortal celestial zodiac deity assigned to assist mortal Elliot in his pursuit. In the meantime, he's caught up in the pursuit of an escaped prisoner from the underworld.

Straight Talk for Librarians: A humorous take on the the gods and the zodiac and tween adventures. The greek gods and celestial zodiac signs are all a bit dysfunctional, and hijinks ensue with hilarity in a high stakes convoluted adventure. Although it is sometimes difficult to distinguish one immortal from another, or decipher what exactly is happening, Elliot is a sympathetic, likable human students will root for as he conquers his fears and masters his out of control universe with the help and hindrance of immortal gods and goddesses.
