The book that inspired the Netflix original series Trollhunters, from Dreamworks Animation.

"You are food. Those muscles you flex to walk, lift, and talk? They're patties of meat topped with chewy tendon. That skin you've paid so much attention to in mirrors? It's delicious to the right tongues, a casserole of succulent tissue. And those bones that give you the strength to make your way in the world? They rattle between teeth as the marrow is sucked down slobbering throats. These facts are unpleasant but useful. There are things out there, you see, that don't cower in holes to be captured by us and cooked over our fires. These things have their own ways of trapping their kills, their own fires, their own appetites."

Jim Sturges is your typical teen in suburban San Bernardino-one with an embarrassingly overprotective dad, a best friend named "Tubby" who shares his hatred of all things torturous (like gym class), and a crush on a girl who doesn't know he exists. But everything changes for Jim when a 45-year old mystery resurfaces, threatening the lives of everyone in his seemingly sleepy town. Soon Jim has to team up with a band of unlikely (and some un-human) heroes to battle the monsters he never knew existed.

From the minds of Guillermo del Toro and Daniel Kraus comes a new illustrated novel about the fears that move in unseen places.

From School Library Journal

Gr 7 Up—Featuring plenty of edge-of-your-seat action, this offering from the director of Pan's Labyrinth and the author of Scowler (Delacorte, 2013) won't disappoint. In the late 1960s, eight-year-old James Sturges and his brother Jack were riding bikes at dusk, racing to get home before dark. Taking a shortcut under a bridge in the woods, they were attacked by a monstrous, shadowy creature with razor-sharp claws, glowing red eyes, and shaggy black fur. Though James barely escaped with his life, he never saw his brother Jack again. Now, many years later, James's 15-year-old son Jim suddenly starts seeing terrifying red-eyed monsters that no one else seems to see. When one creature pulls Jim under his bed one night, Jim learns of his own troll-hunting legacy and reluctantly enters an epic battle between trolls and humans. This work features an eclectic and endearing cast of troll and human characters. Even though the pacing is a bit choppy, moving from fast-paced in one chapter to slow in the next, the heart-pounding opening chapter would make an excellent library or classroom read-aloud. This funny, gory first series installment may engage reluctant readers, particularly those familiar with del Toro's horror films. Beautifully creepy, full-color artwork is sprinkled throughout, but it often appears well after the scene it depicts. VERDICT More gruesome than scary, this title will be a hit with teens and adults who love action-packed, dark fantasy adventures.—Leigh Collazo, Dulwich College, Suzhou, China

Book came faster than expected and came in wonderful condition. It even has that new book smell and crisp pages! I was going to get this book before but it was out of stock. Thankfully more came quickly and I ordered immediately! I have only read a little so far and I am absolutely hooked!! I cannot wait to dive into this story. Yes its different than the t.v show, but that's why books will always be better than t.v. Now dont get me wrong i LOVE the Trollhunter series on Netflix, it's my favorite show and i have watched every part of the saga about 10 times through. Now that being said, I feel like reading the books will help add some background info and really immerse myself within the story. The book is so detailed and vivid, I can see it in my head! The t.v show was based off this and yes some details are different but that doesn't make it bad. Every single pages flows well, it has amazing imagery and personification. I cannot wait to dive in to this story.. I will be buying the other books as well!!
Give the book a chance I promise you will not regret it!!

This book was awesome. I had watched the show first and thought it was good, but this is so much better. I wish Guillermo Del Toro had put this much detail and backstory into the show. Honestly, the element that I like the most is that while it’s a very gruesome book, nothing is sugarcoated. It’s all cold, hard, well... in this world, fact. I also love all the attention to detail and character backstory and stuff. Claire is much better in the book than in the show. Overall if you’re squeamish this is probably not for you, but it’s an amazingly well-written book and if you think you can take it, I would definitely suggest trying this book out.

You won't find the show here, but you'll find something well worth your while...

Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2017

FOR FANS OF THE TV SHOW: The key word here is 'inspired'. Mostly names, some characterizations, and concepts were brought over to the show; you will find very little that's similar. That's not a bad thing! However, if you'd like more of your favorite characters to tide you over until next season, this isn't the way to get it. I would still recommend reading it as it's amazing to see how much the idea has changed, especially in such a short time.

Now, as a book itself, I rather enjoyed it. I decided on the above disclaimer because I eagerly picked up the book after finishing the first season of the Netflix show. Initially, I was disappointed, but within the first couple of chapters I happily took the story for what it was and enjoyed every minute of it.

If you're purchasing this for your child, it depends on the child. There is a lot of cursing (at least as far as a book with illustrations in it goes, beautiful ones that that) and a great deal of violent imagery. Gorgeous, amazing, perfectly written gore. The final level for entry is the vocabulary, I'm reading this at twenty-seven and a couple of times the word choices made me tip my head to the side, baffled how a middle schooler might know the language. I find this to be a good thing, get a kid enthralled in a book and they'll learn that new term and they'll be better for it.

Finally, as a story itself. From my point of view, it felt as if A LOT was pushed into one book rather than the two or three it needed. So many ideas and plot threads are thrown at you or resolved at odd moments or too quickly. All without the satisfying ebb and flow of action to let you come down and think about what you just read. For a younger reader, I doubt they'll mind. Having lots of action is key, but the lack of tact in some areas may grind on long time readers. It did to me, just a bit, but the detailed writing made up for the rushed exposition.

All in all, it was a fantastic read and I'm happy I picked it up; both as a reader and as a fan of the show. After this, I'm eager to get more of del Toro's work. I highly suggest it for anyone who's an avid reader, no matter the age.

I have seen the animated series, but like this better. The authors have great imaginations, and make it all seem plausible.

If you're looking for the exact story from the Netflix series, you won't find it here. Instead, you'll find a wonderful world filled with unique characters and phenomenal writing. Guillermo's imagination is matched so perfectly and is expressed beautifully through Kraus's use of vocabulary and imagery that fully immerse you in the world of the Trollhunters. I highly recommend this book.

Good story, nothing like the show. If you’re lokkkng for something like the show it’s only in the basic concept. My son and I are reading this for his bedtime story we’ve watched the series and now we’re learning a different story. Names and other things are changed. Also it’s more of a teen book not 7yr old, he enjoys it but I have to change something as I read.

deserved and a snoozer

Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2015

Verified Purchase

I went into this book thinking it was going to be like the strain, scary, intense, and suspenseful. I was severely disappointed. This book is geared more towards teen horror than adult. The description makes you think of blood, guts, and gore. Well, I made it half way through the book, and all I can say is it was a snooze fest. I was not scared, it did not hold my interest, and to be honest, it just kept repeating over and over again about being bullied. After the 3rd or 4th time talking about bullying, I felt like the authors were just to fixated on that aspect of the story, and little else. In my opinion, don't buy this book unless u want to use it as a tranquilizer to fall asleep by.

Loved it, wish there was a sequel

Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2018

Verified Purchase

I really enjoyed this book.. I reached out to Daniel Kraus via Twitter and asked if there were plans for a sequel and he said there isn't at this time. So that's a little saddening to hear, because it was such a fantastic read. However, for parents of smaller children who love the Netflix series, this is definitely a High School/College level read. Not the kind of stuff your seven year old should be reading. Definitely PG-13.
