Loki: A Bad God's Guide to Ruling the World

Product Information

This book, like the others before, is perfect for the middle grade audience it is intended for, but any adult reader won’t be the least bit bored if they happen to take a peek between the covers, too. 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.

Another fabulously funny read from Louie Stowell, this time with a very clever exploration of good/evil and empathy!

Louie Stowel totally gets school children’s humour and I marvel at her whip smart one liners and hilarious situations.Definitely one you must have on your bookshelves, Loki: A Bad God’s Guide to Ruling the World is my favourite in the series so far and my wife had to ask me to be quiet when I was reading as I was laughing so hard. The Loki series is a real favourite of mine and one I am constantly recommended to children and families as they are accessible to even the most reluctant of readers. 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. The glorious illustrations go hand in hand with the witty story and make this series something special. Funny, charming, messages about empathy, jealousy and friendship, and, of course, a wonderful bunch of illustrations throughout (which add so much!

There is a fair amount of toilet humour, this time in the form of hamster poo and that is sure to win a lot of children's hearts. Stowell balances humor with emotional depth, without ever falling into the expositional trope of people simply sitting and talking about their feelings.
