Loki: A Bad God's Guide to Being Good cover

Wry, witty and very funny diary-style story packed with doodles and comic strips about the frustration trickster god Loki feels at having to live trapped in the body of a weedy eleven-year-old boy.

After one trick too many, Loki is banished to live on Earth as a "normal" school boy. Forbidden from using his AWESOME godly powers, Loki must show moral improvement. As he records his lies THE TRUTH in his magical (judgemental) diary, it becomes clear Loki hasn’t a clue how to tell good from evil, trust from tricks, or friends from enemies.

This bad boy’s journey is a laugh-out-loud delight, packed with cartoons and footnotes, perfect for fans of The Wimpy Kid. * The Daily Mail *

outrageously funny […] Sharp wit, ethical dilemmas, sly mythological references and oodles of doodles are a recipe for pure reading pleasure.

* Guardian *
Often laugh-out-loud funny, this is an irreverent romp through practical moral philosophy, like Netflix’s The Good Place with more snarky cartoon snakes. * Observer *
Tom Gates and Wimpy Kid fans need look no further than this laugh-out-loud offering from Stowell. […] Presented as a diary, the cartoon-packed text will help reluctant readers while also giving a fun introduction to Norse mythology. -- Keeba Critchlow, Neil Armstrong and Hephzibah Anderson * Mail on Sunday *
not just bestselling and funny; its pithy cartooning didn’t insult anyone’s intelligence. -- Kitty Empire * Kitty Empire's Chapter Books of the Year, Observer *
