What’s it all about? Trixie dos Santos is obbessed with two things: doing pranks, and gods that do pranks – the trickster gods. One day, suddenly, the world is plunged into darkness and Trixie knows that only she can save them all. Her friends, Loki, Maui and the Monkey King join her in the quest, but often end up being more trouble than they are worth.
Why should I read it? I have to say, I didn’t read this one, my son did, and his review was short and effective:
Me: What did you think of the book?
Son: Good.
Me: Anything else?
Son: Nope.
Me: Thanks.
