About
Wry, witty and very funny, Louie Stowell’s fabulous bestselling audiobook series of diary-style stories about Loki - the notorious Norse God of trickery and chaos - has become a firm favourite among children aged 9-12. Having turned over a new leaf and vowing to become a good God, Loki is struggling to keep his behaviour in check and finds it challenging to stay on the straight and narrow path. Despite his best efforts, his antics often lead to unintended consequences, much to the amusement of listeners. Combining humour, adventure and valuable life lessons, the third book in the series allows us to delve even further into the reformed God’s mischievous and imaginative world. In Loki: A Bad God’s Guide to Ruling the World, Loki’s attempts to prove he is good start to get a bit desperate. After the drama teacher casts him as the villain in the school play, he starts to wonder whether there is any point in being good when everyone seems so convinced of his villainy. That is until he discovers a rather unusual ring among the costumes and props. A ring that looks suspiciously like the cursed ring of Andvari, one that promises Loki the world if only he gives into his deepest, darkest desires. Filled with quirky characters, witty dialogue and heart-warming moments, Loki offers a fresh and entertaining take on Norse mythology, suitable for children and adults alike, while delivering important messages about the power of friendship, honesty, and embracing one’s own quirks and imperfections. W.F. Howes has published all three audiobook titles in the Loki series, which are all narrated by actor and screenwriter Ben Willbond. Book three was published on 1 June 2023, simultaneously releasing alongside other formats, and can be listened to as part of the series or as a standalone.
