About this ebook
Being the villain is easy. Being the hero? That’s complicated. The hilarious series continues in this third volume, now featuring a brand-new cover and doodle-packed stained edges.
Packed with doodles and cartoons, Loki’s hilarious diary continues as the trickster god—still trapped on Earth as a grumpy eleven-year-old—grapples with whether he’s destined to be the hero or the villain…both on stage and in real life.
Norse god Loki has managed to avoid eternity in a pit of angry snakes, but living on Earth is still a drag. When Thor and Loki’s “parents” leave for a holiday, Odin sends Balder—Thor’s half brother and the god of making Loki look bad—to babysit. Then there’s the school play. Despite Loki’s obvious acting genius (it’s lying, after all), Thor is cast as the noble prince while Loki is, naturally, the villain.
-A laugh-out-loud middle-grade fantasy inspired by Norse mythology
-Packed with diary entries, doodles, cartoons, magic, and mischief
-Features Loki, Thor, Balder, a cursed ring, and unforgettable adventures
-Perfect for readers ages 8–12 who love mythology, humor, and illustrated fiction
At least Loki has found the perfect ring to complete his costume. It couldn’t possibly be Andvari’s cursed ring…could it? As the mysterious ring whispers to Loki and everyone suddenly treats him like a hero, he begins to wonder: What’s the point of being good if everyone’s already decided you’re bad?
With plenty of magic, mayhem, and laugh-out-loud illustrations, Louie Stowell delivers another unforgettable adventure exploring friendship, temptation, and what it really means to choose between good and evil.

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.
