Purchase options and add-ons

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.

Read the whole series! After one prank too many, trickster god Loki has been banished to live as a kid on Earth. If he can’t show moral improvement within one month, he’s sentenced to an eternity in a pit of angry snakes! Can he make it through the trials of middle school? Norse god Loki's still stuck on Earth as an eleven-year-old, and earning everyone’s trust isn’t easy. When his only friend Valerie starts spending time with someone else and everyone suspects he stole Thor’s hammer, will he be able to clear his name? It’s time for the school play, and despite Loki’s acting genius, Thor is cast as the prince, while he’s the villain. With a magic ring telling him to give in to his darkest desires, he asks: Why be good if everyone’s already decided you’re bad?

Editorial Reviews

Review

A magic ring threatens to derail the efforts of the god of mischief to mend his ways and so be allowed to return to Asgard. . . . More hilarious mythological tweaks and narrow squeaks.

About the Author

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, which became a number-one UK bestseller, and its sequel, Loki: A Bad God’s Guide to Taking the Blame. Louie Stowell writes full-time in London, where she lives with her wife, Karen; their dog, Buffy; and a creepy puppet that is probably cursed.

    "An amazing book, you need to have read the other books in the series before this one. I like the characters and the story is really interesting and very funny"

    My daughter is 10 and a very confident reader. She has devoured the Loki series and begs for the new books when they are released. She has found them engaging and amusing.
