Comment:
Hilda is a resourceful and intelligent young girl, who learns about the world around her through investigation and exploration. The book resists gendered stereotypes throughout, but does not comment on the fact that stereotypes are being challenged. The book does not rely on extreme adventure and heightened bravery to make its point about its main female character.
