It is time for a rainy day adventure with Twig and Hilda!

A big big thank you to my hubby for gifting me this one for my birthday in February! This was one of my most OMG need to get books from 2024 and I am so glad I got it in 2025.

In this wonderful adventure, which takes place before all the adventures that Hilda has in Trollberg as she is back in her little red house, Hilda and Twig are going out and have a wonderful day, but what happens when the rain starts to pour? You hide in a strange hill of course which may or may not be as safe as you think (I mean, as someone who has read multiple Hilda books along with stuff about folklore just knew that this hill with an opening wasn’t just any old hill).

I absolutely loved this story and I loved that Twig was mostly the protagonist over Hilda. Hilda also gets some scenes, but most of the time we see Twig’s thoughts and see him go on a wild adventure in which he makes a new friend (unsure if I would call that a friend, but I guess in some ways it is, just a friend you don’t want to be when she is hungry, haha). Twig is such a sweetie and I am so happy we could follow him in this adventure. But even before that, I had such a giggle at how he reacted to Hilda’s suggestions of where to go.

I loved how exciting it all got and I loved seeing how it all ended in shiny and sparklies plus more!

The art was just gorgeous, it’s been a while since I read a Hilda comic so I am mostly used to how she looks in the Netflix series, but this was a lot of fun and I really like the style. I should really re-read the other comics as well.

The animals were SO RUDE. Seriously, be a bit kinder to people and Deerfox, thank you.

All in all, if you want a magical exciting adventure this time mostly from Twig’s POV with some dashes of Hilda be sure to check it out!
