The next Hilda book for me and I love how the story is still very recognizable but also different enough. I did feel sorry for Hilda again that she tried so hard for badges but didn't manage any of them. Poor girl. And she does such awesome things and knows such things, but I guess that is not in lines with and rules of the scouts, which is just a shame. I loved the hound, I loved the poker and what happened after, I loved the marra, I am delighted that we see our awesome librarian again (wish we got an illustration of her as I love her design), I had fun seeing Hilda settle in the town/city and learn how to do things there. Which include her bike.
The nisse were also fun, though I wasn't a fan of Hilda's nisse as she just stole things. Stealing is just a no no in my book.
I may write a longer review later after my vacation.

I adore Hilda and am thankful there are more ways to enjoy her antics. That said, this tie-in missed the boat for me. As a kid, I was definitely one of the obnoxious ones who would point out the changes made between books/tv/movies and since this is at least the third version of Hilda learning about Nowhere Space, there are bound to be differences. My biggest issue is that instead of expanding on things shown in the graphic novel or the TV show, things are deliberately changed and the results aren't great for anyone involved except maybe David.
And Mum should sue for what they did to her at the badge ceremony.

Another fun Hilda tie-in.
While I'd love this series to go more in-depth into the world we see in the show and the original comic, these books are not set up that way. Instead they combine episodes, creatively incorporating the plots together to make one continuous story. That isn't necessarily bad; it's just something that's helpful to know going into them. It's fun to see how the details are strung together and incorporated across the events of each episode.
This one is a combination of episodes 6, 11, 12, and 13, with a minor reference to some events in episode 4. Because of that, there is quite a lot going on in this one. Things are pretty fast paced and a lot is accomplished in a relatively short amount of time.
As with the previous books, the writing was good and the adventures were engaging. The artwork is simple, but lovely, nicely contributing to the events described in the narration.
Definitely enjoying this series for a new take on the events that occur in the show. Excited to see how the events of season 2 are incorporated.
