Loki: A Bad God’s Guide to Being Good – digital pack and book trailer

Loki: A Bad God’s Guide to Being Good – digital pack (9+)

Packed with doodles and cartoons, this is the wry, witty and very funny diary of Norse god Loki and the trials of being trapped on Earth as a weedy eleven-year-old boy.

After one prank too many, trickster god Loki is banished to live as a “normal” school boy. If he can show moral improvement within one month, then Loki can return to Asgard… and if he can’t? Then it’s eternity in a pit of angry snakes. To keep track of his progress, Odin has handed over this magical diary in which Loki is forced to confess the truth. (Even when that truth is as ugly as a naked mole-rat.)

As if moral improvement and the indignities of school weren’t challenging enough, Loki is banned from using his awesome godly powers and (even worse) must put up with Thor tagging along and making him look bad.

Anyone reading Loki’s diary is about to learn that this is one god who hasn’t a clue how to tell good from bad, trust from tricks, or friends from enemies…

The digital pack includes:
- Downloadable Loki activity sheets and teachers’ notes
- Downloadable Loki paper crowns

We would love to see you enjoying the pack on social media using #Loki and tagging WalkerBooksUK, Louiestowell and readingagency.
