Hilda & The Troll

What am I looking at? 
Hilda & The Troll by Luke Pearson.

Who is Hilda the troll? 
Hilda is not the troll. She meets a troll and discovers they are not quite what they seem.

What the hell does that mean? 
Telling you would give it all away.

Don't care. 
Hilda is an explorer who likes to draw her discoveries. One day she sees a rock shaped like a troll so puts a bell around its neck. The rock turns out to be an actual troll and follows her home so she can take the bell back.

Sounds logical. Why put a bell on a rock? 
Troll lore 101: trolls don't like the sound of bells. It's a form of torture to them.

That's nice. So is this book any good then? 
If you are an explorer with a healthily vivid imagination, you will enjoy this.

Alrite. Anything else? 
Hilda and The Troll is going to be made into a Netflix series. Read all the books now before it starts and be one of those annoying people who spoil all the surprises.

Great. Thanks. Bye.
