I loved the contrast between sizes, large, medium, and small. Hilda is such a delightful character, warm and caring, who also makes her share of mistakes. Hilda's mother , who has a bigger role this time, is preoccupied with all the adult worries of life and fails to see all the mysteries around her. Hilda and her mum have been getting little notes from the "Hidden Elves", demanding that they leave their house at once. Hilda goes on an adventure to try and make a treaty, but every Elf she speaks with say it's out of their hands, though they don't have hands. Also, what does the giant that shows up every night want? Luckily my library has the first couple volumes of Hilda and I was able to grab the first 5 books. I didn't like this one as much as the last, mostly because I myself was feeling the frustration Hilda had with the Elves and their reasoning as to why they couldn't help her. The story of the giant(s) is beautiful and heartfelt and I'm happy for the ending. Tiny, previously invisible elves menace Hilda's beloved home; her mother says they must leave and move to the city unless Hilda can befriend them. Meanwhile, Hilda also spies a giant the size of a mountain - where did he come from, and what does he want? Will Hilda be able to pacify all these creatures so she and Mum can stay? no reviews | add a review

Hilda finds her world turned upside down as she faces the prospect of leaving her snow-capped birthplace for the hum of the megalopolis. Her mother, an architect, has been offered a prestigious position in the bustling metropolis that she would find hard to reject. Besides, the tiny elven creatures making a daily habit of bombarding them with threats aren't making Hilda's case any better. As she seeks ways to stall her mother's decision, Hilda rushes to befriend the very source of her malady; will they help or hinder her? More importantly, who is this mysterious Midnight Giant?
