--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
