If you haven’t discovered this series yet, then go straight to your local library or bookshop and pick them up.

The series starts with Loki: A Bad God’s Guide to Being Good when the naughty god, Loki, has been banished to Earth where he is to live as kid. He cut off the goddess Sif’s hair. Tsk! King Odin (a bossy poo-poo head) gives Loki a magical diary. Every time Loki records his actions inside the diary the diary calculates his so-called virtual score. It also corrects him if he strays from the truth.

Unfortunately for Loki he also has to put up with an 11-year-old Thor tagging along who causes him all sorts of grief and cramps his style.

The second book in the series is Loki: A Bad God’s Guide to Taking the Blame and is as much fun as the first book. This latest and third book, Loki: A Bad God’s Guide to Ruling the World doesn’t let the side down either as Stowell seems to be enjoying creating these books as much as readers have devouring them.

This is a fabulous series. It’s packed full of doodly-like illustrations that make every page a bonanza to look at.

These books are just simply a hoot so be prepared to have a good belly laugh with a good story to boot.
