Hilda and the Mountain King (Hildafolk Comics): 6

My son loves this series, but I’m disappointed Luke decided to add guns to the story. We are living a major gun crisis at the moment in America, and I wish we could keep them out of children’s lit. :-/Otherwise a beautiful series.

My 7 year old daughter loves all the Hilda books so was very excited when the new one came out. As always the illustration is fantastic and if we read it together then I find myself stopping and admiring the art work!! I'd recommend this to anyone who like graphic novels and think the whole series is excellent.

My son enjoyed this book. He says its more insightful and heart warming than he ever expected. I suppose it was well worth the wait. He says he he's interested to see what might come next for the Hilda series.

The comic books were perfect for my 6 year old girl, the illustations are captivating and really orginal for a comic book. The story line is eay follow. I will keeping them in good condition so they can passed on to the next generation.

Top up Christmas gift for my granddaughter, who loved it.

9yo loved it... longer than the first part (stone forest). lovely story.

My son aged 9 adores the Hilda series. They are beautiful books that exude a real quality.

We’re huge fans of the Hilda series by Luke Pearson at home and at school, so the arrival of a new book, ‘Hilda and the Mountain King,’ caused huge excitement. After a hectic adventure in the stone forest leaves Hilda, her mum and Twig feeling a little worse for wear, she swears her days of sneaking out are over. That nights, she settles into a deep slumber, only to wake up and find she’s right back in troll territory – and this time without any back up! How did she get there and will she be able to get back to Trolberg? And what does the fearsome Mountain King have to do with any of it? This is another brilliant addition to this series, full of thrills, spills and humour that will keep children thoroughly entertained. I particularly enjoy Luke’s attention to detail, there is so many layers to the story which you can explore every time you read it. He captures Hilda’s emotions brilliantly and creates an incredible sense of drama which builds carefully and will keep your child totally engaged throughout. His use of colour alternating between strong warm colours and dark muted colours add to the tension and  highlight when danger lies ahead. Another joyous read from Luke Pearson.
