About this deal

Loki is still trapped on Midgard (or Earth as we know it) in the body of a young boy, who just happens to be called Liam, like me. He's accompanied by his brother Thor, pretending to be his brother Thomas, and Heimdall and Hyrrokkin, pretending to be his parents. His best friend Valerie now knows his secret, and he still has his diary to update, the diary that keeps him right and awards him his virtue points. Loki természetesen utálja az iskolát, viszont érdekes megfigyelései vannak az oktatással kapcsolatban, például hogy a történelem milyen érdekes, mert arról szól, hogy a halandók szeretnek háborúzni, meg ellopni dolgokat másoktól és ezeket a lopott holmikat még ki is állítják múzeumokban! S ez azért még az ő szemében is durva. One of my favourite things about this book, and this series really, is the metatextuality of it all. This is a story that has a lot of fun playing with the idea of being a story and how it is being told. The diary is the main driver in this, and the way it comments on Loki's plans and corrects him when he goes wrong, and the way it snidely explains human concepts, is just brilliant. It's so funny, sharp and clever and really suits the irreverent style of Loki. I am glad that the ending is a cliff-hanger (SPOILER ALERT!) because it means the reader can find out more about Loki’s adventures. All the kids Loki meets at school are pretty typical. Some are bullies, some are nerds; they are just kids. Loki keeps trying to make new friends, but he just bribes or bullies them instead of really connecting with anyone. One of the side characters, Valerie, is Loki's only friend, and we meet her two moms. She calls one Ma and the other one Mom.

My favourite character was Loki because it was very entertaining to focus on a character that is naughty but not necessarily evil.It should be in EVERY bookshelf—perfect as a hilarious school class read which would lend itself so well to historical themes and also a brilliant gift for any child who just wants to or needs to laugh … a lot! Also we need a TV show please!

Loki has been banished from Asgard. Odin has given Loki the form of an 11-year-old human, and sent Thor, Heimdall, and Hyrrokkin (also in the form of humans) to keep an eye on him. Loki must learn to be good and keep a record of his good or bad deeds in a magical journal. In this second book of the series, Loki is trying to make some new friends, but he goes about it in all the wrong ways.My favourite part of the book was when Loki decided to help Valerie, a student at his school, because he showed that even naughty people are capable of being kind if they are not inherently evil. When Thor’s hammer is stolen, the master of mischief is suspected of the crime. But this time is Loki really to blame? All he needs to do is find the hammer, identify the real thief and get everyone to admit that they were wrong about him. Simple, right?
