Check in to Hotel of the Gods - where mythical guests cause magical mayhem! A hilarious new series perfect for fans of Pamela Butchart and David Solomons.

When Atlas's parents get new jobs running a luxurious hotel he can't believe his luck. It sounds almost too good to be true...

It is. The hotel has very unusual residents - ancient gods and goddesses, forgotten by humans who now worship TikTok celebrities. There's a water dragon in the swimming pool, an Egyptian cat goddess demanding treats, a Viking god throwing his magical hammer around the garden, and an Aztec god who thinks Atlas is a human sacrifice! When Atlas ventures into the basement, where the Greek god Hades lives, he accidentally unleashes a closet-full of mythical monsters - including a three-headed Hellhound!

Can he get the monsters back into the basement before his parents lose their jobs?
