Reviews / Votes
This bad boy's journey is a laugh-out-loud delight, packed with cartoons and footnotes, perfect for fans of The Wimpy Kid. * The Daily Mail * outrageously funny [...] Sharp wit, ethical dilemmas, sly mythological references and oodles of doodles are a recipe for pure reading pleasure. * Guardian * Often laugh-out-loud funny, this is an irreverent romp through practical moral philosophy, like Netflix's The Good Place with more snarky cartoon snakes. * Observer * Tom Gates and Wimpy Kid fans need look no further than this laugh-out-loud offering from Stowell. [...] Presented as a diary, the cartoon-packed text will help reluctant readers while also giving a fun introduction to Norse mythology. -- Keeba Critchlow, Neil Armstrong and Hephzibah Anderson * Mail on Sunday * not just bestselling and funny; its pithy cartooning didn't insult anyone's intelligence. -- Kitty Empire * Kitty Empire's Chapter Books of the Year, Observer *More details

Louie Stowell writes books about magic, gods and monsters (mostly). She has written carefully-researched books about space, ancient Egypt, politics and science but eventually lapsed into just making stuff up. She has written fiction for 8-12 (Nosy Crow and Walker Books US), but Loki: A Bad God's Guide series is her first as both author and illustrator, inspired by her research into Norse myths.
