To make matters worse, Loki has to put up with an eleven-year-old Thor tagging along and making him look bad. Loki is not even allowed to use his awesome godly powers! As Loki suffers the misery of school lunch, discovers the magic of internet videos, and keeps watch for frost giant spies, will he finally learn to tell good from bad, trust from tricks, and friends from enemies? Louie Stowell’s witty text and hysterical drawings will keep readers in stitches from start to finish.

Loki: A Bad God's Guide to Ruling the World
The spotlight is on trickster god Loki, still stuck as a peevish eleven-year-old, as he grapples with whether he will play the part of the hero or the villain in the school play—and in his mortal life.
Norse god Loki’s been able to avoid eternity in a pit of angry snakes, but living on Earth as an eleven-year-old is still a drag. When Thor and Loki’s “parents” abandon them to go on holiday, Odin sends Balder—Thor’s half brother and god of making Loki look bad—to babysit. Then there’s the school play. Despite Loki’s acting genius (it’s lying, after all), Thor is cast as the wonderful prince, while Loki is the villain. What?! At least Loki’s found a cool ring to wear with his costume. One that looks suspiciously like the cursed ring of Andvari. It’s probably a coincidence that when Loki wears it, everyone gives him the same adoring look they give Balder. And that new voice telling Loki to give in to his deepest, darkest desires is just his conscience, right? Loki starts to wonder: What’s the point of being good if everyone’s already decided you’re bad? Drama and hilarity ensue in this third doodle-packed diary that will have readers giving Loki a standing ovation.

Loki: A Bad God's Guide to Taking the Blame
When Thor’s hammer goes missing, trickster god Loki, still trapped as a cranky eleven-year-old boy, is determined to prove he’s innocent (for once!). The hilarious and doodle-packed series continues in this second volume.
Norse god Loki records the highs and lows of living on Earth as an eleven-year-old in grumbles, snarks, and doodles in his enchanted diary. He might not have shown any moral improvement (yet), but Odin has given Loki another chance to prove himself worthy of Asgard. Earning everyone’s trust isn’t easy, however. So far, Loki has managed to make only one human friend, Valerie, but is now irritated to learn that Valerie has made another friend, Georgina. Then, at Thor’s birthday party (a pointless mortal ritual, though luckily there is cake), the magical hammer Mjolnir is stolen—and everyone suspects Loki! Can Loki find Thor’s hammer, discover who the real thief is, and clear his name—or will his jealousy over Valerie’s new friend cloud his judgment? From dangerous Frost Giants to disappointing parent-teacher conferences, Loki’s riotously funny illustrated adventures continue.

Loki: a Bad God's Guide to Making Enemies
The fourth doodle-packed diary in the international best-selling series about the Norse god of tricks and mischief sent to Earth to learn how to be good
Loki made a fair few enemies during his time in Asgard. Too many to count and certainly too many to remember. When the elf Vinir beams Loki aboard his chariot and challenges him to a magical duel, Loki hasn't got a clue why. Sweet-talking his way out of a fight by pointing out there's little honor in dueling someone who can't remember how they wronged you, and even less in picking on a child, Loki is returned safely to school. That is, until Vinir shows up in child form, as resolute as ever about seeking that duel . . . and vengeance.
