Diary of a Wimpy Kid meets Percy Jackson in Odd Gods, the first book in a hilarious series about the most unlikely, unusual Gods ever to grace the halls of Mount Olympus Middle School.

A Summer 2019 Kids' Indie Next Pick

Oddonis may be the son of Zeus, but he's a little bit...odd for a God. He's so odd, in fact, he's not sure if he has any powers at all. And if that isn't enough, his twin brother Adonis is the most popular, most athletic, and most otherworldly handsome God of them all.

Oddonis's future at Mount Olympus Middle isn't looking bright, especially when he makes the last-minute decision to run against Adonis to be class president.

With the help of his friends Mathena (Goddess of math and poultry), Germes (God of all things sniffling and snotty), Puneous (the smallest God of them all), and Gaseous (enough said?), Oddonis is determined to win the race, prove that his friends are as good as any Greek God, and maybe, just maybe, find out what his true powers really are.

Listen to the hilarious new adventures of Oddonis and his friends from debut children's authors David Slavin and Daniel Weitzman.

Daniel Weitzman's children's stories (Whooosh, Stoneface) have been featured in anthologies and online forums. A middle grade novel, The 27 Unadventures of Oliver Ordinary, lives in the digital universe (trailer available on YouTube). Daniel's film and TV credits for children's material include The Pirates of Central Park (Children's Film Winner, New York International Independent Film & Video Festival), Schoolhouse Rock/The Next Generation and Row Your Boat Ashore (Nicholl Fellowships Finalist). Daniel has worked with various entertainment companies, creating film scripts, TV treatments, music video narratives, virtual reality presentations, and numerous digital initiatives. He was a senior producer and writer at AOL and has worked extensively as both creative director and writer at various advertising agencies, where he crafted a number of award-winning ad campaigns. Daniel lives in New York City with his wife, and has co-authored 2 children, whom he frequently turns to for inspiration. They consider him pretty darn odd, and anything but a god.
