Packed with doodles and cartoons, here is the diary of Loki as he’s trapped on earth as a petulant eleven-year-old—and even worse, annoying thunder god Thor is there, too. After one prank too many, trickster god Loki has been banished to live as a kid on earth. If he can show moral improvement within one month, he can return to Asgard. If he can't? Eternity in a pit of angry snakes. Rude! To keep track of Loki’s progress, king Odin (a bossy poo-poo head) gives him this magical diary in which Loki is forced to confess the truth, even when that truth is as ugly as a naked mole rat. To make matters worse, Loki has to put up with an eleven-year-old Thor tagging along and making him look bad. Loki is not even allowed to use his awesome godly powers! As Loki suffers the misery of school lunch, discovers the magic of internet videos, and keeps watch for frost giant spies, will he finally learn to tell good from bad, trust from tricks, and friends from enemies? Louie Stowell’s witty text and hysterical drawings will keep readers in stitches from start to finish.
Reviews with the most likes.
I found the book to be brilliantly written and laughed on every page. It is told from the perspective of Loki, who is now a child and has to live on earth as a punishment. His observations on mundane things like school, dog walks, and breakfast cereal are hilarious.
The story is gripping and written in a diary format, with interesting insights on Norse mythology, cars, capitalism, wars, and the internet from an 11-year-old's perspective.
The humorous illustrations and interactive elements that comment on Loki's lies and scores make the book even funnier.
