Compelling characters, wonderful world building, and beautiful and expressive art make Pearson's work well worth the read.
Very cute, encourages my fascination with Scandinavian folklore, and is fun and clever. Shorter than I was expecting (not that I hold that against it), which meant it sort of glossed over any sort of real detail (written detail, the pictures are full of deets).
My two girls (ages 2 and 4) and I love the Netflix show. We were so excited to read this together and were not disappointed at all! The illustrations are adorable, the story is cute, and Hilda is ... Hilda. We will definitely be continuing the series together.

3.5 stars for a whimsical, odd little treasure of a tale.
I don’t know exactly what it is about this book, but it’s exquisite! Illustrations, word choice, aesthetic- I just really like it.
Ahoy there mateys! I just don’t get it. How is there a story here? I actually did enjoy the artwork but the story was fragmented. The blurb says that ” The magic and folklore of the wild, windswept North come alive in this book about an adventurous little girl and her habit of befriending anything, no matter how curious it might seem.” Hilda doesn’t befriend the troll and runs away from it and is scared. She also doesn’t like the little wooden man either. She learns the error of her ways because a) wooden man is nice to her and b) she hurts the troll because she failed to read the whole book before doing something impulsive.
Is this a trend with comics and graphic novels that I am unaware of? That the storytelling jumps around and I am supposed to somehow connect the dots? Perhaps it is just me weird non-visual noggin. I am beginning to think that graphic novels and I are not friends. But I am willing to take suggestions from the crew of graphic novels with a story in order to try again. I may like a different one but I am not holding me breath. Arrrr!
