She's the author of the bestselling LOKI: A BAD GOD's GUIDE series, about the norse god Loki as a mortal child. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Another hilarious Loki book […] Loved the explanations of mortal things such as zoos, mall etc that made me laugh out loud.

In each book, Loki must face the challenges of any ordinary 11-year-old, and the results are knee-slappingly, tear-inducingly hilarious! She can be pretty picky in her taste in books so when she gets a book she devours like that we know it's a good one. 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. Loki is the series protagonist - the most chaotic god of Norse mythology, who has been banished to live on earth as a normal child who also has to go to school. When Heimdall and Hyrrokkin abandon their "children" to go on holiday, Odin sends Baldur - Thor's half brother and god of making Loki look bad - to babysit.

My 11 year old absolutely loves this whole series of Loki stories, the only downside is she's read them all so quickly!

Told through magical diary entries that reveal only the truth, it's the Norse gods as you've never seen them: hilarious, immature--and prepubescent. 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. I have come to the conclusion that as a mere mortal, there are things about deities that I would never understand. Stowell balances humor with emotional depth, without ever falling into the expositional trope of people simply sitting and talking about their feelings. To make things worse, Fartface Thor is to be the hero of the school play, while Loki has to play the villain.

Funny, charming, messages about empathy, jealousy and friendship, and, of course, a wonderful bunch of illustrations throughout (which add so much!

Wry, witty and very funny diary-style story packed with doodles and comic strips about the frustration trickster god Lok. When Heimdall and Hyrrokkin abandon their “children” to go on holiday, Odin sends Baldur – Thor’s half brother and god of making Loki look bad – to babysit.
