Reading books to children has lots of amazing benefits - even when they're learning to read (or can read) themselves. Overall, I would highly recommend as a class text for Key Stage 2; my class cannot wait to find out how Loki is going to improve his virtue score! In comparison to their favourite book, the language within Loki: A Bad God's Guide to Being Good is more challenging but not overly so in comparison to the Diary of a Wimpy Kid, all the while retaining a good humour.Bursting with illustrations, doodles and comic strips, this is an equally funny sequel to the hilarious Loki: A Bad God’s Guide to Being Good. Told through magical diary entries that reveal only the truth, it's the Norse gods as you've never seen them: hilarious, immature--and prepubescent. 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. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

Everyone, like it or not, has a bit of Loki and Thor in them - and this book highlights that perfectly. After the drama teacher casts him as the villain in the school play, Loki starts to wonder whether there’s any point in being good when everyone seems convinced of his villainy. Before anyone cries "woke nonsense", please remember that particular detail is traditional Norse mythology. Wry, witty and very funny diary-style story packed with doodles and comic strips about the frustration trickster god Lok. LOKI A Bad God's Guide to Being Good has you chuckling at every page turn full of witty remarks and hilarious characters.The tone of the book is fantastic and it reads smoothly, peppers with hilarious illustrations that clarify key moments within the tale.

After a series of 1-star reviews from his teachers, Loki is jealous of the glowing adoration bestowed upon Thor and swears vengeance. Underpinned by Nordic mythology and a satirical approach to contemporary culture, this entertaining romp already has a cult of worshippers.packed with jokes and funny illustrations, this second book about Loki’s adventures is just as funny as the first. If you have a kid who enjoyed Diary of a Wimpy Kid - and also enjoys reading about ancient mythology - check this one out! While on the surface it is a hilarious portrayal of a very frustrated Loki’s attempt to prove that he is not the monster everyone makes him out to be, it also contains many allusions to various stories throughout Norse Mythology. Loki might not have shown any moral improvement (yet) but Odin has given him another chance to prove himself worthy of Asgard by keeping Earth safe from the threat of Frost Giants.
