Overview
Loki: A Bad God's Guide is a five-book paperback collection following Loki, the trickster god of Norse mythology, banished to Earth and forced to live as an ordinary eleven-year-old schoolboy. Written and illustrated by Louie Stowell, each diary-style adventure blends laugh-out-loud doodles, comic strips, and genuine mythological detail as Loki dodges detention, battles Frost Giants, and squares off against Thor, Baldur, and other Asgardian rivals. Fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Tom Gates will recognize the format instantly, while young mythology lovers get an irreverent introduction to Odin, Asgard, and the wider Norse pantheon. This set gathers Being Good, Taking the Blame, Ruling the World, Making Enemies, and Causing Chaos in one great-value bundle.

About the Books
Across five uproarious paperback installments, Loki: A Bad God's Guide follows the Norse trickster god after Odin banishes him to Earth in the body of an ordinary eleven-year-old boy. Forbidden from using his godly powers, Loki must attend school, do good deeds, and record only the truth in a magical diary — a premise that fuels endless comedy as his chaotic instincts collide with playground politics. In Being Good, Loki discovers that virtue is far trickier than mischief, fumbling through his first attempts at kindness and honesty. Taking the Blame raises the stakes as Odin tasks Loki with protecting Earth from Frost Giants, all while Loki dreads the very human terror of Parents' Evening. In Ruling the World, Thor's rival half-brother Baldur is sent to babysit Loki and Thor, and sibling tension boils over when Loki is cast as the villain in the school play — a role he may be a little too suited for. Making Enemies pushes Loki into thornier territory as jealousy, rivalry, and unwanted attention test his fragile progress toward goodness. The series closes with Causing Chaos, in which the goddess Freyja arrives in Midgard with a magical necklace, a lovesick elven enemy named Vinir, and no shortage of trouble, forcing Loki to broker peace before everything falls apart. Illustrated throughout by Stowell herself in scribbly, expressive black-and-white doodles, the books balance genuine Norse mythology with laugh-out-loud middle-grade humor, and each volume works as a satisfying standalone while rewarding readers who follow Loki's journey from smug troublemaker to something closer to a hero — however reluctantly.
