Perfect for fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Tom Gates, Stowell's effervescent new series presents the doodle-heavy diary of trickster god Loki after he is banished to Earth in the body of an eleven-year-old boy.
Shortlisted for The British Book Awards 2023 Children's Fiction Book of the Year
Waterstones Children's Book of the Month for February 2022
Wry, witty and very funny diary-style story packed with doodles and comic strips about the frustration trickster god Loki feels at having to live trapped in the body of a weedy eleven-year-old boy.
After one trick too many, Loki is banished to live on Earth as a "normal" school boy. Forbidden from using his AWESOME godly powers, Loki must show moral improvement. As he records his lies THE TRUTH in his magical (judgemental) diary, it becomes clear Loki hasn't a clue how to tell good from evil, trust from tricks, or friends from enemies.

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

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
