(W/A) Luke Pearson. Hilda can never sit still for long without setting off on another adventure. She can't resist exploring her enchanting world a place where trolls walk* crows speak* and mountains move. 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. While on an expedition to illustrate the magical creatures of the mountains around her home* Hilda spots a mountain troll. As the blue-haired explorer sits and sketches* she slowly starts to nod off. By the time she wakes up* the troll has totally disappeared and* even worse* Hilda is lost in a snowstorm. On her way home* Hilda befriends a lonely wooden man* and narrowly avoids getting squashed by a lost giant.
