Loki: A Bad God's Guide to Making Enemies

Being the God of Mischief comes with a very long enemies list. The hilarious series continues in this fourth volume, 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—discovers that some grudges last a lifetime.

Loki has made more than a few enemies during his time in Asgard. Too many to count—and certainly too many to remember. So when the elf Vinir appears in a magical chariot and challenges Loki to a duel, Loki has absolutely no idea what he’s done this time.

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

Using his legendary gift for talking his way out of trouble, Loki convinces Vinir there’s little honor in dueling someone who can’t even remember the offense—or an eleven-year-old child. Problem solved…or so he thinks.

When Vinir turns up at school in child form, still determined to settle the score, Loki must face one of his oldest enemies while discovering that some mistakes are harder to escape than others.

Louie Stowell’s witty storytelling and laugh-out-loud illustrations return in another magical adventure filled with friendship, mischief, and mythological mayhem.
