Synopsis

The book that inspired the 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.
The 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.
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.
Trollhunters is a creative and amusing read, perfect for teenagers and adults alike.
