Loki: A Bad God's Guide to Taking the Blame

Product Information

I would recommend this book to kids aged seven upwards who are looking for a little mischief and fun pranks. The stories are accompanied with lots of doodle-style illustrations that will appeal to children who like reading Tom Gates and Diary of a Wimpy Kid-style of book. I think the illustrations in the book are great and really look like they were drawn by an eleven year old boy.
