New Releases by Luke Pearson

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?

Tag along with Hilda and Twig to solve a stellar mystery in this colourful, cosy comic, perfect for readers of all ages! Hilda and Twig are enjoying a calm camping trip, spotting shooting stars. But when one of these shooting stars lands in the woods nearby and Hilda insists on taking a piece home, Twig's going to have to save Hilda from a bit of other-worldly danger...

From the creator of Hilda, the award-winning comics and Netflix series, comes an irresistibly funny picture book about a tiny troublemaker who turns a family's peaceful morning upside down — and sends them on a delightfully chaotic adventure. If a naughty-looking little gnome with a magical-looking hat turns up at your door, whatever you do . . . DON’T LET HIM IN! When a knock at the door interrupts their breakfast, a family and their home are thrown into disarray by a cheeky little elf man. With a whistle and a pop, everything is topsy turvy. The rug has turned into pizza, Daddy is transformed into a biscuit and a funny-looking interdimensional door opens in the kitchen wall. Despite Mummy’s warnings, the rest of her family just can’t help themselves from falling for this pesky mischief maker’s increasingly fantastical pranks in this hilarious story of perfectly paced mayhem. Just when things seem to get impossibly out of hand, Mummy discovers how to put a stop to the magical misadventures of this tiny trickster for good . . . or so it seems!

Demain il va neiger ! Voilà qui annonce une inoubliable dernière journée de vacances avec Burku, l’amie troll d’Hilda. Mais rien ne se passe comme prévu et la journée qui s’annonçait exceptionnelle vire au fiasco faute de poudreuse. Twig a alors une idée : et s’il allait réveiller l’Homme de glace dont il a repéré le terrier ? Mais ce dernier est bien plus puissant qu’imaginé, et une tempête de neige d’une rare violence se déchaîne alors, mettant toute la vallée en danger. Après l’avoir réveillé, Twig réussira-t-il à ramener l’Homme de glace à son hibernation et ainsi sauver Hilda ? Une nouvelle mission pour notre renard-cerf préféré, qui revient aux fondamentaux de la série initiale, les Trolls, et met en scène des valeurs humanistes d’entraide, de respect et d’amitié. Un cadeau idéal pour le Noël des premiers lecteurs à partir de 5 ans !
