Loki: A Bad God's Guide to Taking the Blame

In this second volume of the highly entertaining graphic novel series, Loki, the Norse trickster god, continues his probation on Earth as an eleven-year-old boy. When Thor's powerful hammer, Mjolnir, vanishes during a birthday party, everyone immediately suspects Loki. He must navigate school life, a burgeoning friendship with Valerie, and his own jealousy when Valerie makes a new friend, all while trying to solve the mystery of the missing hammer and clear his name. This book is perfect for children aged 7-11, offering a blend of mythological adventure, laugh-out-loud humor, and relatable emotional themes like jealousy and the struggle for acceptance.

When Thor’s hammer goes missing, trickster god Loki, still trapped as a cranky eleven-year-old boy, is determined to prove he’s innocent (for once!). The hilarious and doodle-packed series continues in this second volume. Norse god Loki records the highs and lows of living on Earth as an eleven-year-old in grumbles, snarks, and doodles in his enchanted diary. He might not have shown any moral improvement (yet), but Odin has given Loki another chance to prove himself worthy of Asgard. Earning everyone’s trust isn’t easy, however. So far, Loki has managed to make only one human friend, Valerie, but is now irritated to learn that Valerie has made another friend, Georgina. Then, at Thor’s birthday party (a pointless mortal ritual, though luckily there is cake), the magical hammer Mjolnir is stolen—and everyone suspects Loki! Can Loki find Thor’s hammer, discover who the real thief is, and clear his name—or will his jealousy over Valerie’s new friend cloud his judgment? From dangerous Frost Giants to disappointing parent-teacher conferences, Loki’s riotously funny illustrated adventures continue.
