This visionary YA novel by director Guillermo Del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth, Crimson Peak) and writer Daniel Kraus centers around 15 year old Jim Sturges Jr., a young boy who is thrust into the magical underground world of trolls. Jim must take up the trollhunter mantle to save the world from a maleficent force that could destroy everything and everyone. Although much darker and adult oriented than its Netflix counterpart (there are some bits that made me squirm a bit), Trollhunters is an engaging read with plenty of mystery that fans of Percy Jackson will enjoy. And, part of the fun of reading Trollhunters is seeing how the book was modified for television adaptation. I loved both even though they are vastly different in regards to characterization, tone, and plot. Highly recommended!
