Loki: A Bad God's Guide to Causing Chaos

Being the God of Mischief doesn’t mean every bit of chaos is your fault. Now featuring a brand-new cover and doodle-packed stained edges

Packed with doodles and cartoons, Loki’s hilarious diary continues as the trickster god—still trapped on Earth as an eleven-year-old—tries to uncover who’s really causing trouble before he’s blamed yet again.

Vinir the elf is still living in Midgard disguised as a schoolboy, and to keep the peace (and stop him from trying to murder Loki…again), Odin sends the goddess Freyja to pose as Vinir’s guardian. Everything should be under control.

-A laugh-out-loud middle-grade fantasy inspired by Norse mythology
-Packed with diary entries, doodles, cartoons, magic, and mischief
-Features Loki, Thor, Freyja, Vinir, magical mysteries, and unforgettable adventures
-Perfect for readers ages 8–12 who love mythology, humor, fantasy, and illustrated fiction

Instead, Thor starts receiving mysterious fan mail, Valerie and Georgina suddenly can’t stop arguing, and even Hyrrokkin seems determined to make Loki’s life miserable. Something strange is happening, and for once Loki might not be the one behind it.

Can Loki and a suspiciously besotted Vinir uncover the real source of the chaos before everything spins completely out of control?

Louie Stowell’s witty storytelling and laugh-out-loud illustrations return in another magical adventure packed with mystery, friendship, mythology, and mischievous fun.
