Description
This book was also really exciting as you got to play detective and solve the mystery of Thor’s missing hammer.
Before anyone cries "woke nonsense", please remember that particular detail is traditional Norse mythology. Stowell balances humor with emotional depth, without ever falling into the expositional trope of people simply sitting and talking about their feelings. A quirky fantasy adventure in which a human boy and a Greek goddess accidentally release an immortal supervillain who is determined to take over the world - and maybe even the universe.LOKI A Bad God's Guide to Being Good has you chuckling at every page turn full of witty remarks and hilarious characters.
packed with jokes and funny illustrations, this second book about Loki’s adventures is just as funny as the first. The glorious illustrations go hand in hand with the witty story and make this series something special.After playing one trick too many, Loki, Norse god of mischief, is sent by Odin to live on earth as an 11-year-old boy. And the story ends on a cliffhanger (sort of), which of course means we can't wait for the next volume in this series. Loki is the series protagonist - the most chaotic god of Norse mythology, who has been banished to live on earth as a normal child who also has to go to school. I have always enjoyed Jim Carrey in the film Mask from 1994 where he puts on the mask and becomes a version of Loki. The first Loki had me roaring last year so I was thrilled to learn there’d be a follow-up (and the end of the story tantalisingly teases the next one!
Loki might not have shown any moral improvement (yet) but Odin has given him another chance to prove himself worthy of A.He is particularly enraged that he has to put up with Thor, who poses as his twin brother to keep an eye on him. In each book, Loki must face the challenges of any ordinary 11-year-old, and the results are knee-slappingly, tear-inducingly hilarious! We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. Everyone, like it or not, has a bit of Loki and Thor in them - and this book highlights that perfectly. The tone of the book is fantastic and it reads smoothly, peppers with hilarious illustrations that clarify key moments within the tale.
