Synopsis

Here is the diary of Loki as he's trapped on earth as a petulant eleven-year-old—and even worse, annoying thunder god Thor is there, too.

After one prank too many, trickster god Loki has been banished to live as a kid on Earth. If he can show moral improvement within one month, he can return to Asgard. If he can't? Eternity in a pit of angry snakes. Rude! To keep track of Loki's progress, King Odin (a bossy poo-poo head) gives him this magical diary in which Loki is forced to confess the truth, even when that truth is as ugly as a naked mole rat. 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 humor will keep listeners in stitches from start to finish.

About Louie Stowell

Louie Stowell started her career writing carefully researched books about space, ancient Egypt, politics, and science, but eventually lapsed into just making stuff up. The author of the Kit the Wizard series, she was inspired by her research into Norse myths to write Loki: A Bad God's Guide to Being Good, her first project as both author and illustrator. Louie Stowell writes full-time in London, where she lives with her wife, Karen; her dog, Buffy; and a creepy puppet that is probably cursed.

I'm giving this 5 stars on my kid's behalf, who has absolutely fallen in love with this book.

The same kid who's......more

children’s fiction is just on another level for me honestly!! this is why i get sad when people turn their nose up at kid lit, because it’s breaking boundaries and doing so much more than most adult fiction. this book manages to balance being both funny and clever whilst appealing to kids and talkin......more

Loki has pushed Odin’s buttons one too many times and has now been given his worse punishment ever. He has been sent to Earth to live as an eleven-year-old boy. He is living with two gods pretending to be his parents, and of course, Thor is there too, pretending to be his twin brother. Loki is to beh......more

Loki, trickster god of Asgard, is punished for his latest trick by being forced to spend a month on Earth as a puny human boy on a mission to become a better person...a mission that NO ONE believes he'll be able to manage, especially not the other gods & giants unhappily co-opted to pose as his "lov......more
