This was a brilliant read and just what I needed! It's funny and clever, and hugely appealing to children (and child-like adults!). The diary format, with the illustrations makes the book accessible to even the most reluctant reader, and Loki's sarcasm and observations about life on Earth as a child, make the book engaging and highly entertaining.
Loki, as the god of mischief, is determined to rebel against his fate: he can't stand being in such a wimpy body, he doesn't see the point of school and certainly doesn't understand the need to be nice to others. Yet, there is another side to him, one he needs to access if he is to avoid eternal damnation; he just needs to be able to access it. Can he be the hero he needs to be?
A fab introduction to mythology, Loki A Bad God's Guide To Being Good is Who Let The Gods Out meets Wimpy Kid and will undoubtedly appeal to fans of Marvel. A guaranteed hit when it's published in February, I just hope there is more to come!
