Come Out, Come Out!

(4) PS Illustrated by Dee Huxley. When Hildy, who is "so angry," hides, her whole family gets in on the hunt. The text, told from the family's point of view, is lighthearted, as reinforced by Huxley's images of faces feigning concern that they will never see Hildy again. Incongruously, the unsettling illustrations of frowning/scowling Hildy in hiding suggest something darker than a child's mischievous bid for attention.
