“Pearson’s charming prequel series to his popular Hildafolk stories follows a younger Hilda and her beloved deerfox, Twig. But in a delightful twist, it’s Twig who has thrilling adventures with fantastical creatures. […] As usual, Pearson’s art is fantastic, with imaginative world building, lush colors, cinematic action, and lots of emotional expressiveness in his characters’ body language and faces. Larger panel sizes and a simplified plot will make this particularly enjoyable for newly independent readers, and the gentle message about handling big emotions is nicely pitched to the target age group.”
