I often worry he's going to 'age out' he already is disappointed that I have gone from knowing 'everything about star wars and hanging with Max Rebo' to not having seen the latest Mandalorian. Another fabulously funny read from Louie Stowell, this time with a very clever exploration of good/evil and empathy! She can be pretty picky in her taste in books so when she gets a book she devours like that we know it's a good one.

She's the author of the bestselling LOKI: A BAD GOD's GUIDE series, about the norse god Loki as a mortal child. To make things worse, Fartface Thor is to be the hero of the school play, while Loki has to play the villain.

I have come to the conclusion that as a mere mortal, there are things about deities that I would never understand. Perfect for helping kids (and adults) learn more about the nature of envy, empathy and it what it actually means to be.

The Loki series is a real favourite of mine and one I am constantly recommended to children and families as they are accessible to even the most reluctant of readers. Louie Stowel totally gets school children’s humour and I marvel at her whip smart one liners and hilarious situations. Another hilarious Loki book […] Loved the explanations of mortal things such as zoos, mall etc that made me laugh out loud. I remember this age when I wanted comics read to me at bedtime but my dad always insisted on reading something more grown up.Funny, charming, messages about empathy, jealousy and friendship, and, of course, a wonderful bunch of illustrations throughout (which add so much! Loki is, as ever, just trying to be good, but when a cursed item reaches his possession, can he resist wanting to be king of the world? A ring that looks suspiciously like the cursed ring of Andvari, one that promises Loki the world if only he gives in to his deepest, darkest desires.
