Collected HitsThere are at least five Hilda books. Each one comprises a complete story arc, but the six also establish a larger continuing story. If you think of those five books as "albums", then this new book is composed of various "tracks" from the first of them that have been arranged to tell the beginning of that overall story. So, while the first Hilda book is about a rock troll, and the second Hilda book is about the Elf community around Hilda's home, this book just condenses those two co...

Read this book in Dutch, will write a review in English. This was a lot of fun!I am giant big fan of the Hilda series. I read the graphic novels 2 times, saw the Netflix show twice, and was definitely eager to try out this book series as well. It was warned that it would be pretty much the same as the Netflix show, but I knew I wouldn't mind it. Anything to go back to Hilda's very interesting world of awesomeness. In this one we follow the events of the first two episodes. We meet Hilda as she e...

It was an ok kids fantasy story about a blue-haired girl named Hilda who discovers there's an awful lot of she wasn't aware of right outside her own house. It felt a little flat to me - from perusing the other reviews, I wonder if I'd find the original graphic novel more appealing?

*I received an ARC from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.*This was so freakin cute! First of all, I would die for Twig. Also, i want a deer fox and I want one now. But I guess that's beside the point. This was a really cute story mostly about how humans kinda suck. At least that's what I took from it. Highly recommend to adults that like MG books. And to basically all kids and tweens. Hilda is fun, and brave, and kind. I seriously cannot wait for the Netflix show!

Really cute, but takes some of the whimsy, visual wonder, and humour away through being pretty sparse in the writing - these stories and characters definitely work better in the graphic novel/animation formats.

I absolutely love Hilda's adventures! They're always so cute and action packed. I am always excited to see where her curiosity will lead her and her friends next. However, this book was a bit repetitive to the show. I much preferred watching the show to reading the book. Especially because you'd have to wait a long time for the second novel to come out. Whereas, you can watch all the episodes that are currently out, which go way beyond the book. I will definitely be reading the comic next though...

This is a chapter book tie-in with the Netflix cartoon, which is itself based on the series of graphic novels by Luke Pearson. The text is great -- laugh out loud funny in parts -- and liberally illustrated with Pearson's awesome art. All of this makes it a cut above your typical "based on the TV show" book.

I read this to my 8 year old daughter and we fell in love with the series. It's so great, such a good compliment to the Netflix show.The art is unique, the fantasy world that the author built up is engaging & the storylines teach great lessons on being unique, standing up for yourself, going on adventures and being honest. Such a great series.

My grandson discovered the Hilda series on television and was delighted to then get the graphic novels and these tie-ins. Even without having seen them on the box, these books are a delight. Hilda and the creatures she interacts with are fun and fascinating.

Cute early-middle grade story. Hilda is endearing, the story is fast-paced and engaging, and there are lots of fabulous nods to all kinds of folk creatures. Quick, sweet read.

Loved this. Set in a forest full of wonders like giants and trolls. Doesn't overly sugarcoat and is high on adventures. More please.

A novelization of the graphic novel Hilda book 1

Hilda lives in a magical valley inhabited by trolls, deer-fox (half deer, half fox), little wooden men and giants. She has managed to live there happily with her mum for her entire life. But lately they have been receiving messages telling them they must leave their valley.They ignore these notes to their peril and are soon attacked! Hilda manages to save them with a broom and some determination, but soon learns why her and her mum are a problem in the valley.She meets even more magical creature...

Just as adorable as the netflix series! (I wish netflix wouldn't feel the need to put their stamp on the front of beautiful covers though)

Love the TV show. The books captures a lot of the same whimsy and neither is made boring by the other. I think both mediums have their pros and I'd actually suggest reading the book AND watching the show.

It was a great book it was really cool.

I absolutely adore Hilda and her world and could not be more excited about the Netflix adaptation of the graphic novels and these transitional chapter book tie-ins!! I was nervous about this chapter book adaptation because the graphic novels are so vivid and wonderful, but this book does justice to its source material. It's very descriptive and the illustrations add some of the imagination that is readily available in the GN format. I love it. It would make for a great chapter book to read aloud...

Sweet book that follows the first couple of Hilda(folk) graphic novels by Luke Pearson, and I’m assuming the embellishments in the first couple of episodes of the animated series (Netflix, Sept. 21, 2018). The novel writing is very sparse and very much a play-by-play, feeling suited more for a younger readership (8 & younger) than typical middle grade (8-12). That being said it was enjoyable and quick because I already love the graphic novel series. And it was tender at the end and tugged in my

This is a cute middle grade story.Hilda and her mom are going to be kicked out of their house by the invisible elves that live in front of it. The elves can become visible if you sign a form to see them (the elves love forms). Hilda must travel to see the elf Prime Minister and elf king to save her home.Hilda learns a lot about her homeland throughout the story. It is a land with elves and giants shaped like mountains. There are also trolls that can be scared off by bells. But Hilda realizes tha...

My kids loved the Hilda Netflix series. This GN is based on the first episode. Super cute. We love Alfur and all of his paperwork.
