Loki: A Bad God's Guide to Ruling the World cover

Loki's third doodle-packed diary in the number one best-selling series.

When Heimdall and Hyrrokkin abandon their "children" to go on holiday, Odin sends Balder – Thor's half brother and god of making Loki look bad – to babysit.

As Balder and Thor bond, Loki's attempts to prove he's good start getting a bit desperate. After the drama teacher casts him as the villain in the school play, Loki starts to wonder whether there's any point in being good when everyone seems convinced of his villainy.

That is until he discovers a rather unusual ring among the costumes and props. A ring that looks suspiciously like the cursed ring of Andvari, one that promises Loki the world if only he gives in to his deepest, darkest desires...

I like the drawings and cartoons on every page and the jokes in every sentence. [...] I’d recommend this book to anyone interested in mythology and give it 8/10! -- Kit, aged 9 * First News *
Funny and smart in equal parts, we love Loki! * WRD Magazine *
This series is the one that convinced my son that reading could be fun […] These books are my 'go to' for recommendations for friends' children. * NetGalley Reviewer *
A book that is guaranteed to make you smile and belly laugh on every page. The humour in this book is sheer brilliance, whether you are 6, 36 or 86! * NetGalley Reviewer *
Another hilarious Loki book […] Loved the explanations of mortal things such as zoos, mall etc that made me laugh out loud. Some of the best parts though are the illustrations of Loki...particular favourites are Loki on a slide, Loki as a hamster and Loki as a professional footballer. Brilliant! * NetGalley Reviewer *
