Hilda and the Hidden People cover

This enchanting tale follows Hilda as she encounters trolls, elves, and giants, all while navigating the challenges of moving to Trolberg city.

In Hilda and the Hidden People, readers are introduced to Hilda, a spirited explorer and adventurer who has a unique bond with the creatures of her valley. Her sketchbook is filled with drawings of the fantastical beings she encounters, showcasing her love for nature and its mysteries. However, Hilda's life takes a turn when she meets a troll for the first time, an encounter that challenges her understanding of friendship and acceptance. As she navigates this new relationship, Hilda learns that not all creatures are as they seem, and sometimes, they just need a chance to be understood.

The story unfolds as Hilda embarks on a quest to bring peace between some rather finicky elves and to help two ancient giants who are hopelessly in love yet separated. Each adventure is filled with whimsical charm and humor, highlighting Hilda's bravery and her ability to connect with others, no matter how different they may be. The narrative beautifully weaves together themes of friendship, courage, and the importance of community, making it a delightful read for both children and adults alike.

As Hilda faces the possibility of moving to Trolberg city, far from her cherished valley, she must confront her fears and the changes that come with growing up. Will she be able to embrace this new chapter in her life while holding onto the magic of her past? Hilda and the Hidden People invites readers to join Hilda on her enchanting journey, filled with lessons about love, acceptance, and the bonds that tie us all together.
