After Norse god Loki played one too many tricks in Asgard, Odin banished him to live on Earth as an eleven-year-old school boy. With Thor, Heimdall and the giant Hyrrokkin pretending to be his family, Loki must record his deeds in a magical (slightly sarcastic) diary to prove he’s learning how to become more virtuous.
It’s a bit of a work in progress.
In this diary entry, Loki recounts three spectacular stories, including:
Triumphs (and failures) as Loki and Thor take on three tasks for Heimdall.
The Norse tale of Thor almost marrying a giant.
Loki as a robot. Sort of…
Tales of a Bad God
What people are saying about Loki: A Bad God’s Guide series…
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.
―The Observer
Hilarioius, clever, addictive and so full of heart that I truly didn’t want it to end.
―A. F. Steadman, author of Skandar and the Unicorn Thief
Laugh-out-loud funny, whip-smart observation, totally original & all round EPIC
―Hannah Gold, author of The Last Bear
Outrageously funny… Sharp wit, ethical dilemmas, sly mythological references and oodles of doodles are a recipe for pure reading pleasure
―The Guardian
Honestly, this series continues to make me laugh and make me more curious about the mythology! Loki is, as ever, just trying to be good, but when a cursed item reaches his possession, can he resist wanting to be king of the world? Louie has done it again! Funny, charming, messages about empathy, jealousy and friendship, and, of course, a wonderful bunch of illustrations throughout (which add so much!!).
