About this ebook
Being banished to Earth is bad. Being stuck as an eleven-year-old? That’s even worse. Now featuring a brand-new cover and doodle-packed stained edges.
Packed with doodles and cartoons, Loki’s hilarious diary chronicles his time trapped on Earth as a petulant eleven-year-old—and, even worse, annoying thunder god Thor is there, too.
After one prank too many, trickster god Loki has been banished to live as a kid on Earth. If he can show moral improvement within one month, he can return to Asgard. If he can’t? Eternity in a pit of angry snakes. Rude!
-A laugh-out-loud middle-grade fantasy inspired by Norse mythology
-Packed with diary entries, doodles, cartoons, magic, and mischief
-Features Loki, Thor, Odin, frost giants, and unforgettable adventures
-Perfect for readers ages 8–12 who love mythology, humor, and illustrated fiction
To keep track of Loki’s progress, King Odin (a bossy poo-poo head) gives him a magical diary in which Loki is forced to confess the truth—even when that truth is as ugly as a naked mole rat. To make matters worse, Loki has to put up with an eleven-year-old Thor tagging along and making him look bad. Loki isn’t even allowed to use his awesome godly powers!
As Loki suffers the misery of school lunches, discovers the magic of internet videos, and keeps watch for frost giant spies, will he finally learn to tell good from bad, trust from tricks, and friends from enemies?
Louie Stowell’s witty storytelling and hilarious illustrations will keep readers laughing from beginning to end as Loki’s unforgettable adventure begins.

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, her first project as both author and illustrator. Louie Stowell writes full-time in London, where she lives with her wife, Karen; her dog, Buffy; and a creepy puppet that is probably cursed.
