Description

I have always enjoyed Jim Carrey in the film Mask from 1994 where he puts on the mask and becomes a version of Loki. In each book, Loki must face the challenges of any ordinary 11-year-old, and the results are knee-slappingly, tear-inducingly hilarious! When Heimdall and Hyrrokkin abandon their “children” to go on holiday, Odin sends Baldur – Thor’s half brother and god of making Loki look bad – to babysit. Another fabulously funny read from Louie Stowell, this time with a very clever exploration of good/evil and empathy! LOKI A Bad God's Guide to Being Good has you chuckling at every page turn full of witty remarks and hilarious characters.

After the drama teacher casts him as the villain in the school play, Loki starts to wonder whether there’s any point in being good when everyone seems convinced of his villainy. Loki must record evidence of his moral improvement in a magical diary which, unfortunately for him, corrects lies and deducts ‘virtue points’ from his score whenever he behaves badly. Bursting with illustrations, doodles and comic strips, this is an equally funny sequel to the hilarious Loki: A Bad God’s Guide to Being Good.Loki might not have shown any moral improvement (yet) but Odin has given him another chance to prove himself worthy of Asgard by keeping Earth safe from the threat of Frost Giants. For any kid transfixed by Norse mythology […] it’s silly, full of cheeky jokes and mischief, and peopled by believable, fallible characters who just happen to be gods.

My 10 year old generally prefers audio books to actual reading, but he's devoured the hard copy of this story and is excited to see the next in the series. A quirky fantasy adventure in which a human boy and a Greek goddess accidentally release an immortal supervillain who is determined to take over the world - and maybe even the universe. Wry, witty and very funny diary-style story packed with doodles and comic strips about the frustration trickster god Lok. The book itself is filled with several opportunities to apply cross curricular learning, especially in regard to Loki’s relationships with other characters.packed with jokes and funny illustrations, this second book about Loki’s adventures is just as funny as the first.

I've overheard my kids telling their friends about it, saying that if they like books by Rick Riordan or Cressida Cowell then they'll also enjoy this one. In comparison to their favourite book, the language within Loki: A Bad God's Guide to Being Good is more challenging but not overly so in comparison to the Diary of a Wimpy Kid, all the while retaining a good humour. So when Thor has a birthday party and his favourite hammer, Mjolnir, goes missing, everyone suspects Loki.All about Loki and his quest to appease Odin for his troublesome tricks, he is sent to Earth to try to atone for his many mistakes. Overall, I would highly recommend as a class text for Key Stage 2; my class cannot wait to find out how Loki is going to improve his virtue score! He has a whole month to redeem himself or else he will be sent to Hel wherein he will find an eternity of torture by the fangs of venomous snakes. Reading books to children has lots of amazing benefits - even when they're learning to read (or can read) themselves.
