Hilda and the Mountain King
See what perils await this beloved blue-haired adventurer in the sixth book of Luke Pearson's widely praised series.
We rejoin our heroine for her latest adventure just as she awakes to find herself...in the body of a troll! Her mum is worried sick, and is perplexed by the strange creature that seems to have taken Hilda's place. Now, both of them are in a race to be reunited before Ahlberg and his safety patrol get the chance to use their new secret weapon to lay waste to the trolls, and Hilda along with them!

Reviews
The adventures of Luke Pearson’s plucky heroine Hilda have become one of the greatest phenomenons of UK comics publishing over the last decade… Hilda and the Mountain King is in turns thrilling, touching and even thought-provoking.
Broken Frontier
I can safely say that Hilda, with her blue hair and eye for adventure, is one of the best female characters for primary school readers to devour. […] In a series that can do no wrong,there is so much right…basically perfect.
The Great British Bookworm
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
