I like the drawings and cartoons on every page and the jokes in every sentence. [...] I'd recommend this book to anyone interested in mythology and give it 8/10! -- Kit, aged 9 * First News * Funny and smart in equal parts, we love Loki! * WRD Magazine * This series is the one that convinced my son that reading could be fun [...] These books are my 'go to' for recommendations for friends' children. * NetGalley Reviewer * A book that is guaranteed to make you smile and belly laugh on every page. The humour in this book is sheer brilliance, whether you are 6, 36 or 86! * NetGalley Reviewer * Another hilarious Loki book [...] Loved the explanations of mortal things such as zoos, mall etc that made me laugh out loud. Some of the best parts though are the illustrations of Loki...particular favourites are Loki on a slide, Loki as a hamster and Loki as a professional footballer. Brilliant! * NetGalley Reviewer *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.
