Loki: A Bad God's Guide to Taking the Blame

Being the God of Mischief has one major downside: nobody believes you’re innocent. The hilarious series continues in this second volume, now featuring a brand-new cover and doodle-packed stained edges.

Packed with doodles and cartoons, the hilarious diary of Loki continues as the trickster god—still trapped on Earth as a cranky eleven-year-old—tries to clear his name after Thor’s magical hammer disappears.

Norse god Loki records the highs and lows of living on Earth in grumbles, snarks, and doodles in his enchanted diary. He might not have shown much moral improvement (yet), but Odin has given him another chance to prove himself worthy of returning to Asgard.

• A laugh-out-loud middle-grade fantasy inspired by Norse mythology
• Packed with diary entries, doodles, cartoons, magic, and mischief
• Features Loki, Thor, Odin, Mjolnir, Frost Giants, and hilarious adventures
• Perfect for readers ages 8–12 who love mythology, humor, mysteries, and illustrated fiction

Earning everyone’s trust isn’t easy—especially when you’re Loki. Just as he’s trying to prove himself, Thor’s magical hammer, Mjolnir, is stolen, and everyone immediately assumes Loki is to blame. To clear his name, he’ll have to uncover the real thief while navigating jealousy, friendship, Frost Giants, and even the horror of a parent-teacher conference.

Can Loki solve the mystery before his reputation is ruined forever, or will his own tricks come back to haunt him?

Louie Stowell’s witty storytelling and hilarious illustrations return in another unforgettable adventure filled with mythology, mystery, magic, and mayhem.
