Synopsis

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 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 adventures continue.

He has *very* begrudgingly read for and at school ("I already know how to read, so why do I have to keep doing it?!") but Loki has captured his imagination in a truly transformative way.

children’s fiction is just on another level for me honestly!! this is why i get sad when people turn their nose up at kid lit, because it’s breaking boundaries and doing so much more than most adult fiction. this book manages to balance being both funny and clever whilst appealing to kids and talkin......more

Loki has pushed Odin’s buttons one too many times and has now been given his worse punishment ever. He has been sent to Earth to live as an eleven-year-old boy. He is living with two gods pretending to be his parents, and of course, Thor is there too, pretending to be his twin brother. Loki is to beh......more
