PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Louie Stowell started her career writing carefully researched books about space, ancient Egypt, politics, and science, but eventually lapsed into just making stuff up. The author of the Kit the Wizard series, she was inspired by her research into Norse myths to write Loki: A Bad God’s Guide to Being Good, her first project as both author and illustrator, which became a number-one UK bestseller. Louie Stowell writes full-time in London, where she lives with her wife, Karen; their dog, Buffy; and a creepy puppet that is probably cursed.
The Norse god of trickery gets another lesson in ethics when Thor’s hammer is stolen. . . Along with folding in frequent glancing references to Norse myths, the author has salutary messages for much of the immortal supporting cast (and readers, too). . . More life lessons, abob in poop jokes, boasts, and mythological references on the way to a bit of world-saving. —Kirkus Reviews As with the first Loki book, ‘Loki: A Bad God’s Guide to Taking the Blame’ is wildly clever, totally hilarious with equally funny illustrations and an absolute guarantee that kids will rip through every page as fast as they can. —The Reading Eagle
