The Day the World Went Loki
£2.99
Also available as: Paperback
All they did was recite an ancient rhyme. Now St Andrews looks more like Middle Earth and Loki (Yeah, that Loki, the Norse god of mischief!) says the world will stay this way forever.
But how will the brothers stop him with a gang of angry Valkyries on their tail? Can two ordinary boys outwit the god of mayhem?
