Louie Stowell writes books about magic, gods and monsters (mostly). She has written carefully-researched books about space, ancient Egypt, politics and science but eventually lapsed into just making stuff up. She has written fiction for 8–12 (Nosy Crow and Walker Books US), but Loki: A Bad God's Guide series is her first as both author and illustrator, inspired by her research into Norse myths.
There will be a queue of excited fans wanting to read Loki: A Bad God’s Guide to Making Enemies (Walker) in the school library this autumn. Stowell’s hilarious, illustrated series about the Norse god of mischief, trickery and deception has quickly become the most popular in the library. * The Bookseller * Stowell's magnificently funny series about a Norse trickster god trapped in the body of a schoolboy rides again, as a dastardly elf appears in child form to continue his vendetta against the hapless Loki. * Waterstones September’s Best Children’s Books 2024 * An absolute riot…This is such a brilliant series for young readers – one with universal appeal and one that is filled with humour from start to finish. * World’s Smallest Library * [A] hilarious series …Like this reviewer, many primary readers will eagerly anticipate Loki’s fifth adventure. * Red Reading Hub * Returning to these familiar characters is like sinking into a warm, cosy blanket. Easy reading (I read it in one day) and a great continuation of the story of Loki. * Netgalley Reviewer *
