Hilda and Twig: Hide from the Rain

A brand-new adventure featuring our favourite blue-haired heroine Hilda, and her trusty deerfox companion Twig.

Hilda and Twig would never let a bit of rain get in the way of an adventure, but it’s different when your forest exploration is interrupted by a BIG storm.

Sheltering in a mysterious mound in the earth, Twig quickly realises that trouble is afoot, and that his best blue-haired friend is in danger. Unfortunately, he’s never really thought of himself as the brave one, but it looks like he’s going to have to step up and save Hilda from a whole load of big, scaly trouble!

Dive into this magical comic as we follow our lovable pair on a soggy adventure.
Luke Pearson is the creator of the Hildafolk comic series. He is also a writer and co-executive producer of the Bafta award-winning animated series of the same name. Outside of his work on Hilda, Luke has been an illustrator, a storyboard artist and has drawn a range of other comics.
Like the best folk tales, Hilda and Twig is imaginative and captivating, as cosy as it is strange and as spooky as it is heartfelt. - James Littler, author of Frostheart

Hilda and Twig Hide from the Rain is like a cozy fireplace, a soft blanket, and a delicious bowl of soup all rolled up into one beautiful, exciting, and heartwarming graphic novel. What Luke Pearson does with comics is pure magic! - John Patrick Green, creator of the Investigators series

I really want to put on my walking shoes and floaty beret and go on an adventure with Hilda & Twig. A wonderful entry to the world of Hilda for any young comic fan. - Jim Field, illustrator of Oi Frog!

Grab your raincoat, galoshes, and beret! Luke Pearson creates the perfect alchemy of charms and chills in this spooky rainy-day adventure! As a Hilda superfan, it’s a delight to see and hear Twig, the devoted deer fox get to share their side of the story! The Hilda series continues to be cartoon books at their absolute best! - Dave Roman, creator of Unicorn Boy

A beautiful, funny and clever story with stunning illustrations and a heartwarming message. I adore the world of Hilda! - Harriet Muncaster, creator of Isadora Moon

It’s always a great day when a new Hilda book comes out! This is a must for elementary and middle school libraries. - Lori Henderson, SLJ's Good Comics for Kids

Fans of “Hilda and Twig” will love this fantastic new outing, which also works perfectly as a standalone or an introduction for those new to the series. - Jenny Arch, SLJ STARRED review
