Out this month, Loki: A Bad God’s Guide to Being Good is a wry, irreverent and witty 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.

About the Book

After one prank too many, trickster god Loki is banished to live as a “normal” eleven-year-old school boy, but if he can show moral improvement within one month, he will be allowed to return to Asgard. If he can’t, then it’s eternity in a pit of angry snakes for Loki!

To keep track of his progress, Odin has handed over a magical diary in which Loki is forced to confess the truth. As if moral improvement and the indignities of school weren’t challenging enough, Loki is banned from using his awesome godly powers and (even worse) must put up with Thor tagging along and making him look bad.

Anyone reading Loki’s diary is about to learn that this is one god who hasn’t a clue how to tell good from bad, trust from tricks, or friends from enemies…

Packed with doodles and cartoons, this witty and irreverent diary of Norse god Loki is no Odin-ary new middle-grade series. The book is likely to appeal to fans of Tom Gates and Who Let the Gods Out…
