Reach for this book when your child feels like an outsider or struggles with the impulse to act out when they feel misunderstood. It is a perfect choice for the kid who is 'too much' for some people but has a brilliant, quick-thinking mind that just needs the right outlet. This graphic novel masterfully explores the origins and exploits of Loki, the Norse god of mischief, focusing on his complex relationship with the other Aesir gods. It dives deep into themes of belonging, the pain of being labeled a villain, and the thin line between a harmless prank and a hurtful choice. Parents will appreciate the way it humanizes a traditionally 'bad' character, offering a nuanced look at why someone might choose chaos over conformity. It is visually stunning and intellectually stimulating, making it ideal for middle schoolers who are beginning to navigate their own social identities and the consequences of their actions.
