I was very excited to receive Hilda and the Troll as part of BookTrust's School Library Pack. If you are a school in the UK you should definitely be taking advantage of this great offer of free books! Hilda is addicted to adventure, so when she sets off to draw interesting rock formations around her home, she's thrilled to see a mountain troll. Although it looks like a strange rock, Hilda knows better, and ties a bell around it's long rock-noes. After some more sketching, she nods off, only to wake up in a vicious snow storm. Even stranger, the mountain troll is gone. As she wades her way through the snow, she meets a lost giant and a strange yet accommodating wooden man. Can she find her way home? And what's she going to do about that mountain troll on the loose? Filled with warm humour and beautiful illustrations, this series of graphic novels is perfect for reluctant and struggling readers. I can't wait to promote this to students in the Library as I know it will be a huge hit. If you haven't checked out the Hilda series it's a perfect read for anyone looking for a quick escape into a beautiful land.
