This series follows the titular Hilda, an 11-year-old girl who moves to the mystical city of Trolburg with her mother. Throughout her journey, Hilda makes friends with the monsters and creatures that live in her new city.

As a veritable fish out of water, Kipo Oak travels beyond her underground burrow and explores the post-apocalyptic surface in search of her missing father. Along the way, she befriends several surface inhabitants and discovers the mutated species that now live there.
