    Hardcover (Insight Kids, Nov. 7, 2017)
    Discover what it takes to be a Trollhunter in this interactive, in-world guidebook to the universe of Guillermo del Toro’s animated TV series DreamWorks Trollhunters. We all know there are 47 volumes of A Brief Recapitulation of Troll Lore—authored millennia ago by the Venerable—and very dead—Bedehilde. But those books were written by trolls for trolls. And since Jim is the first human Trollhunter, it's time for him, Toby, Claire, Blinky, and AAARRRGGHH!!! to write a brand-new 48th volume. After all, Jim won't be the Trollhunter forever. And whoever inherits the Amulet after him—maybe another human boy, or a human girl, or even NotEnrique!—will benefit from this updated, humanized edition that collects and expands upon Jim's adventures for the whole new generation of champions to come. With chapters written by each of the characters on their special area of expertise, DreamWorks Trollhunters: A Brief Recapitulation of Troll Lore: Volume 48 takes readers through everything they need to know about their magical world. Young Trollhunters-in-training can learn about all things trolls, from Changelings to Troll Market to the evil troll Gunmar. Delving deep into the world of Guillermo del Toro’s epic series and including a variety of interactive inserts, this book is the perfect guidebook for all aspiring Trollhunters!
