Loki's third doodle-packed diary in the number one best-selling
series. When Heimdall and Hyrrokkin abandon their "children" to go
on holiday, Odin sends Baldur – Thor's half brother and god of
making Loki look bad – to babysit. As Baldur and Thor bond,
Loki's attempts to prove he's good start getting a bit desperate.
After the drama teacher casts him as the villain in the school
play, Loki starts to wonder whether there's any point in being good
when everyone seems 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 in to his deepest,
darkest desires...
Odin has given Loki another chance to prove himself worthy of
Asgard. But earning everyone's trust is tricky, and when Thor's
hammer goes missing, everyone blames Loki! Outrageous! To clear his
name he must: 1) Find Thor's beloved hammer 2) Uncover the real
thief 3) Force everyone to admit they were wrong An easy feat for
someone as handsome and clever as Loki...

Wry, witty and very funny diary-style story packed with doodles and
comic strips about the frustration trickster god Loki feels at
having to live trapped in the body of a weedy eleven-year-old boy.
After one trick too many, Loki is banished to live on Earth as a
"normal" school boy. Forbidden from using his AWESOME godly powers,
Loki must show moral improvement. As he records his lies THE TRUTH
in his magical (judgemental) diary, it becomes clear Loki hasn't a
clue how to tell good from evil, trust from tricks, or friends from
enemies.
