Bookroo's summary

Loki, the trickster god, is banished to Earth as an eleven-year-old boy. Stripped of his powers, he must prove his moral worth in a month or face eternal punishment. With a magical diary tracking his every move and an annoying young Thor by his side, Loki navigates school lunches, internet videos, and potential frost giant spies. Can he learn the difference between good and bad, trust and tricks, friends and foes, before time runs out? Dive into a world of chaos and humor as Loki's journey unfolds.

From the publisher

Packed with doodles and cartoons, here is the diary of Loki as he’s trapped on earth as a petulant eleven-year-old–and even worse, annoying thunder god Thor is there, too. After one prank too many, trickster god Loki has been banished to live as a kid on Earth. If he can show moral improvement within one month, he can return to Asgard. If he can’t? Eternity in a pit of angry snakes. Rude! To keep track of Loki’s progress, King Odin (a bossy poo-poo head) gives him this magical diary in which Loki is forced to confess the truth, even when that truth is as ugly as a naked mole rat. To make matters worse, Loki has to put up with an eleven-year-old Thor tagging along and making him look bad. Loki is not even allowed to use his awesome godly powers! As Loki suffers the misery of school lunch, discovers the magic of internet videos, and keeps watch for frost giant spies, will he finally learn to tell good from bad, trust from tricks, and friends from enemies? Louie Stowell’s witty text and hysterical drawings will keep readers in stitches from start to finish.
