Thank you to NetGalley and ABRAMS Kids for the Advanced Reader Copy.

I enjoyed reading this book. Although the formatting was off on the NetGalley app, the content was still readable (although sometimes it would run on between one god and the next which was a little confusing at first).. The book included descirpitons and depictions of various gods from around the world, including some I was not familiar with such as Mbombo and Amaterasu.

In my years as an elementary school teacher, I have found that books such as these appeal to children in grades 3 +, as children are fascinated with myths and legends. The images in this book might remind chidlren of some of the superheros they see in their graphic novels and it might encourage them to learn a little more about the gods.


I would probably recommed this book for children in grades 5+ as it delves into topics such as murder, has vivid descxriptions such as "her rotting, maggot-filled corpse", and higher level vocabulary.
