Little did the humans know, they actually built their city over top of the trolls’ mother (the biggest troll of all), who has been sleeping peacefully for years and speaks silently to her troll children - which explains why they always want to get into the city to hear her quiet voice better. In her quest to regain her humanity, Hilda helps this giant troll escape from his prison only to discover that he wants to attack the nearby city of Trollberg, which predictably causes chaos for the humans who have worked for years to keep the trolls out of the city. In typical Hilda fashion, though, the story is not simply about her own personal challenges, as we meet a mysterious troll who has been trapped in a cave lined with bells (a troll’s worst nightmare) and discover more about the trolls who live in the mountains which surround Hilda’s home. As much as Hilda likes her adventures and wilderness, the troll life isn’t all it’s chalked up to be, and she immediately sets out on a quest to find a way to turn herself back into a human. Adventurous Hilda finally gets her come-uppance in this latest installment of her escapades, when she is turned into a mountain troll and swapped for the troll-mother’s child, who is too “soft” to be a troll and would apparently do better as a human child.
