I want to live in this world. I want to be an educator in this world. I want to be an artist, a writer, a creator in this world.

I really liked how Hilda is making connections and finding adventures in the city! The plot was extremely original and I appreciated this story.

I would love it if he made a reference guide for all the wonderful creatures that appear in these books

The magic of this series is Hilda interacting with unique nonhuman creatures. So I get impatient when there is much of anything else in these stories. The whole scouting thing, I could care less about. Even the stuff with her mom, I've read it in a million Realistic Juvenile Fiction stories. MOAR CREATURES PLZ.

Once you get to the core of this story (the nisse), I liked it better. I kinda love the concept of the hidden room in your house, even if it does feel marginally stolen from [b: Un Lun Dun|68496|Un Lun Dun|China Miéville|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1170692699s/68496.jpg|2959401] or [b: Neverwhere|14497|Neverwhere|Neil Gaiman|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1348747943s/14497.jpg|16534]. And I loves me a giant dog, oh I do.

I also kinda love it when homework feels useful.

I absolutely adore this series. Lovely art and a fun read with a plot that often upends expectations in the best way. This may sound like a weird comparison but this series reminds me of Doctor Who. Hilda is a girl who is off to see the universe and isn't afraid of its inhabitants.

Really enjoyed this edition of Hilda's latest adventures- especially for the scouting story line. This world is so weird and different but also super cool and fun. This story was sweet and funny, per usual.
