"...a charming, and surprisingly cozy, Nordic myth–inflected world
full of trolls and giants and strange beasts."
—Publishers Weekly
"Luke Pearson is one of the best cartoonists working today. Hilda
is utterly brilliant!"
—Raina Telgemeier, creator of Smile
"Plain smart and moving. John Stanley's Little Lulu meets
Miyazaki."
—Guillermo Del Toro
"Luke Pearson's Hilda stories are beloved in our house,
and they will surely be enjoyed by audiences for many years to
come."
—Kazu Kibuishi, creator of Amulet
"In Hilda, Luke Pearson has created a truly odd and
amazingly beautiful world—Stunningly personal and original. I am in
awe of his imagination. He is a real inspiration."
—Mike Mignola, creator of Hellboy
“Pearson thinks kids can handle a lot: visually, emotionally,
thematically. That’s why they like his work, and why I do too.
Simplicity can be a virtue, but there’s also something to be said
for embroidery, and he takes just enough from each of those
attributes to make strong books […] The panel structure
of Mountain King is as visually complex as the range of
emotions in the story, and yet neither is hard to read. It feels
cinematic without leaving comics behind.”
—Hillary Brown, The Comics Journal
"This is an adventurous and delightful story that follows Hilda as
she wakes up a troll and seeks to become human again. With lots of
action, a tenacious heroine, and fantastic illustrations, children
are sure to enjoy following the latest graphic novel installment of
HILDA AND THE MOUNTAIN KING. Highly recommend for reluctant readers
and/or anyone who wants to enjoy a thrilling and engaging fantasy
adventure."
—Olivia Farr, YA Books Central
