She's determined to discover who these tiny terrorists are, why they're so suddenly up in arms and see if she can't set things straight. They've never spotted one and have no idea where they live, but this is their sixth little letter this week! And, oh dear, it's yet another demand for mother and daughter to up sticks and leave the valley for good! But when Hilda posts a note of her own asking them to leave her alone, their home is bombarded by stones, their books seem to rip themselves to shreds and it's almost too much for Mum. Living out in the wilds in a craggy valley surrounded by mountains, Hilda and her mother have recently and quite unexpectedly come under siege from the Hidden People. Oh, the sheer wonder of it all! That's what you need to light up the eyes and fire up the minds of young readers: wonder, surprise and a protagonist o'er-brimming with an insatiable curiosity. Winner of the British Comics Award 2012 in the best Young Readers category as judged by Leeds schoolchildren, this is its first time in softcover.
