Description
How to Train Your Dragon by Cressida Cowell is the first book in a wildly popular adventure series, narrated by the unlikely Viking hero, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III. Though the films were inspired by this book, the original story is a hilarious, sharply written tale full of action, awkward dragons, and unexpected bravery.
Description:
Set in the wild and blustery world of the Barbarians and Vikings, the story follows Hiccup, the quiet and clever son of the fierce Viking chief Stoick the Vast. Unlike the other Viking boys, Hiccup isn’t loud or strong—but he is smart, and when the time comes for him to capture and train a dragon (as part of his tribe’s terrifying rite of passage), things go very wrong.
Hiccup manages to catch a small, disobedient dragon he names Toothless, who’s more sarcastic than scary. As Hiccup tries to prove himself to his tribe, he must learn how to understand dragons—and fast—because a much bigger danger is looming: a giant, monstrous dragon that threatens to destroy them all.
With wit, courage, and a bit of Viking luck, Hiccup must find a way to save his people and change how they see both dragons and heroes.
