Louie Stowell writes funny children's fantasy with mischievous narrators, magic and school-age problems. The Dragon in the Library begins a series about Kit, a reluctant reader who discovers she is a wizard, while the Loki books retell Norse myth through the diary of the trickster god after he is sent to Earth in the body of an eleven-year-old boy. Other books include stories about monsters, gods and chaotic families. Stowell's prose is fast, witty and highly accessible, with diary pages and illustrations supporting the jokes. Her work fits middle-grade fantasy, Norse mythology, school comedy and illustrated chapter books. Read more Less
