Louie Stowell started her career writing 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 to Being Good is her first project as both author and illustrator, inspired by her research into Norse myths. Louie writes and illustrates full time in London with her wife Karen, her dog Buffy and a creepy puppet that is probably cursed.
This bad boy's journey is a laugh-out-loud delight, packed with cartoons and footnotes, perfect for fans of The Wimpy Kid. * The Daily Mail * outrageously funny [...] Sharp wit, ethical dilemmas, sly mythological references and oodles of doodles are a recipe for pure reading pleasure. * Guardian * Often laugh-out-loud funny, this is an irreverent romp through practical moral philosophy, like Netflix's The Good Place with more snarky cartoon snakes. * Observer * Defiantly childish and silly - and all the better for it. * SFX - five stars * I devoured this hilarious doodly diary by the immensely talented Louie Stowell. So funny and magnificently clever. Learned about Norse mythology too which was a bonus! Right up my street, I'd thoroughly recommend Loki for comedy lovers 8+. Out Feb 2022. * Jen Carney, Author of Accindental Diary of B.U.G. *
