Review
"Pearson has perfected Hilda's Scandinavian-style fantasy world, and his artwork is as captivating as ever." Booklist (Starred Review)
Review
"Luke Pearson's Hilda books are the most imaginative, most inspiring, and most beautiful all-ages stories published in the past decade. [...] This newest volume [...] is the best yet, suggesting that Hilda may join Tintin and the Moomins as comic-book immortals." Slate, Slate's 10 Favorite Comics of 2016
Review
"Pearson's utter lack of pretension keeps Hilda feeling fresh, while his reading of folktales and Tove Jansson's Moomin series embeds Hilda in the long history of children's stories. [...] Hilda's dilemmas, while fantastic, also feel real [...] Pearson has found a lovely new way to dramatize childhood demons, while also making you long for your own cruise down the fjords." The New Yorker
Review
"Plain smart and moving. John Stanley's Little Lulu meets Miyazaki." Guillermo Del Toro
