Join Twig and his best friend Hilda on an icy adventure for young comic readers in this Hilda adventure from award-winning creator Luke Pearson.
Hilda and her new friend, Burku the giant are enjoying playing together in the Wilderness. There is just one thing that would make everything more fun... snow! It just so happens that Twig has accidentally woken the Ice Man, unfortunately, that means there's a lot more than a snow flurry headed straight for Hilda!
Can Twig save the day?
Luke Pearson is the creator of the Hilda comic book series. He was also a writer and co-executive producer of the BAFTA and Emmy 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. In 2025, Hilda and Twig: Hide from the Rain became the first British comic to win the Eisner Award for Best Publication for Early Readers!
"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." — Booklist Reviews
