What’s inside...
In the fourth instalment of Louie Stowell’s hilarious diary-style series, the trickster god Loki is still trapped in the body of an 11-year-old boy, living in present-day Britain and trying (with mixed success) to earn back his place in Asgard. When Thor’s priceless hammer, Mjölnir, disappears, Loki is immediately blamed. Unless he can track down the real thief, Odin will declare war on the giants—and Loki will be stuck on Midgard forever. With the clock ticking, school bullies, frost-giant plots and a suspiciously changed friend all complicate Loki’s mission, forcing him to choose between easy mischief and genuine heroism.
