Description
Soon to be a Netflix original series. In San Bernardino, California, children are going missing. The townspeople don't believe the rumours of trolls, but fifteen-year-old Jim Jnr knows that they're a very real threat. At night, is anyone safe? TROLLHUNTERS is a funny, gruesome and undeniably del Toro-esque adventure perfect for teen readers and fans of Pan's Labyrinth.

ReviewsThe young want stories that do not lie about the shadows under beds and bridges - and in human hearts. Trollhunters teaches us about both kinds. About true friendship, grim and slimy heroes, the strength of outsiders- and the courage it takes to face everyday life. Cornelia Funke, author of Inkheart The gruesome text, paired with ghoulish illustrations, makes for a fantastic adventure in an underground kingdom that's just as dangerous as the trials and tribulations of middle school. I'm never looking under my bed again. Tony DiTerlizzi, bestselling author and co-creator of The Spiderwick Chronicles Trollhunters is a creative and amusing read, perfect for teenagers and adults alike. We Love This Book This black comedy has a highly visual, cinematic feel. It is wildly imaginative and rich in description, comedy gore and elaborate use of language. Booktrust
