A Bad God's Guide to Being Good (2025)

The fourth doodle-packed diary in the international best-selling series about the Norse god of tricks and mischief sent to Earth to learn how to be goodLoki made a fair few enemies during his time in Asgard. Too many to count and certainly too many to remember. When the elf Vinir beams Loki aboard his chariot and challenges him to a magical duel, Loki hasn’t got a clue why. Sweet-talking his way out of a fight by pointing out there’s little honor in dueling someone who can’t remember how they wronged you, and even less in picking on a child, Loki is returned safely to school. That is, until Vinir shows up in child form, as resolute as ever about seeking that duel . . . and vengeance.

    The fourth doodle-packed diary in the international best-selling series about the Norse god of tricks and mischief sent to Earth to learn how to be goodLoki made a fair few enemies during his time in Asgard. Too many to count and certainly too many to remember. When the elf Vinir beams Loki aboard his chariot and challenges him to a magical duel, Loki hasn’t got a clue why.

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

    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.

To preserve the peace and prevent him from trying to murder Loki (again), Odin sends the goddess Freyja to pose as Vinir’s guardian. Soon Thor starts receiving mysterious fan mail, Valerie and Georgina start bickering and, worst of all, Hyrrokkin seems to have taken against Loki! It's up to Loki and a suspiciously besotted Vinir to figure out what mischief is afoot…
