About the Book Told entirely through Loki's magical, truth-revealing diary, this World Book Day edition serves up three spectacular short stories starring the god of mischief, now stuck living as an eleven-year-old boy on Earth with Thor for company. First, Loki and Thor are set three tricky tasks by Heimdall, with predictably chaotic (and hilarious) results as the pair battle to triumph without falling flat on their faces. Next, Loki recounts the classic Norse tale of the time Thor was nearly forced to marry a giant in disguise, retold with all of Loki's trademark sarcasm and irreverence. Finally, things get even stranger as Loki finds himself transformed into something resembling a robot, with typically ridiculous consequences. Throughout, Stowell's signature doodle-packed illustrations and comic-strip asides bring every scene to life, making this an ideal reluctant-reader title. Fans of Tom Gates and Diary of a Wimpy Kid-style books will feel instantly at home with the format, while the genuine grounding in Norse mythology gives it an educational edge that parents and teachers appreciate. At a bargain World Book Day price point, it's a fantastic way to sample the Loki: A Bad God's Guide world before diving into the full-length novels, or to enjoy a stand-alone dose of chaos for
