Now he is trying to work out how to clear his name having been unfairly charged with stealing the great god Thor’s hammer.

A fantastic read, roll on book 3!!!

This is a really funny and entertaining book. I would recommend it for children of a similar age to myself (age 11). I really loved the bizarre concept of the Gods transforming so that they are on Earth in our era. In my opinion this sequel has an even better story line that the first Loki book. Loki is not doing well at school, however his 'brother' Thor is and he gets to have a special party to celebrate. Little do they know that during the party, Thor's hammer will disappear, stolen!! The book takes us on a roller coaster of an adventure that sees Loki trying to find the thief whilst being a prime suspect himself! As Loki tries to find out who stole Thor's hammer, he has to find his way through friendship fall outs and his own high and low feelings.... Read Full Review
