I really enjoyed reading this book and was definitely recommend to my friends. I have shared it with my class during show and tell.
Old Gods, New Tricks was a book that looked appealing to me. I am enjoying reading about greek mythology with my class at school.
I liked how all the gods were on the front cover. I was curious to find out what Trixie is holding?
This book reminded me of those by Maz Evans, which I really enjoy and liked that he had given a review too.
During the story I particularly liked how it included most the trickster gods; Hermes is one of my favourites but he wasn’t included so I hope he joins the next quest.
My favourite part was where Trixie made Old Coyote lose a bet. He lost when Trixie made drunk bunnies follow her. He tripped over the bunnies which made him stop dancing and lose the bet.
My favourite character was Monkey because he seemed to have an endless supply of hot buns and at first made it hard for Trixie to find out who was the real Monkey King.
The book ended when Trixie completed her quest but Iorgi- her pet ferret - died which made me sad.
The funniest parts was where she walked on the Bright road, fell in to the sea and was fished up by Maui’s grandma.
I was really interested in learning that there were more gods other than just Greek and Norse. I enjoyed reading about the African, Polynesian and Mexican mythological gods.
Overall I really enjoyed reading this book and was definitely recommend to my friends. I have shared it with my class during show and tell.
Perfect for kids who like adventures, magic and learning about different cultures. You'll also get to know all about awesome gods and learn about myths and legends.
I enjoyed the opportunity to read this as it is not my normal style of book but I was immediately obsessed with the mythical adventures. I like the character of May and the different Gods, including Thor and Anansi! I learned about different cultures while May went on an epic adventure to gather the gods and help them regain their powers. She faces dangerous challenges and learns a lot about friendship, bravery and believing in yourself. Some nail biting moments to keep the reader on the edge of their seat. Great illustrations too make the story come alive!
I think my Y5 class will love this book!
Marvellous, madcap mayhem unleashed on a world of darkness!
I thought it was really good because I liked the different gods and the adventure they go on to save the world without electricity. My favourite characters were Sun Wukong and Trixie's pet called Iorgi.
Great book on mythology I couldn't put down. Will Trixie and the pranksters be able to help the world as it's cast into darkness.
Great book if you love mythology. I couldn't put this book it was so good. This follows Trixie who gets into trouble at school because she is obsessed with the trickster god's like Maui and Loki.
When darkness is cast over the world Trixie knows there is only one thing to bring the light back. Can she bring back Loki, Maui and the monkey king and save the world. Definitely read this book if your excited for adventure and mythology.
