The book is a bit sad as trolls smashed everyone's houses but a little boy knew what trolls fear... which is a dragon. So he got a dragon and then the trolls got scared.

Trouble with trolls I liked the dragon because he did do cool stuff. I would recommend it to someone else.
Inspector Gator Bottlenose 02.12.2022

I liked this book because the boy thought that he could find a dragon to save their food and help the village. It teaches you never to doubt people just because they are smaller than you. I like the dragon Astrid because it was very small at the beginning and it grew to scare away the trolls. I would recommend it to people who like dragons because it is also exciting to see a mountain full of dragons.

Because every time the dragon coughs it gets bigger and bigger and bigger.

Very good book! Erik was such brave dragon-boy. I'd recommend it to dragon lovers
Inspector Bruno Sheep-Dip 19.08.2021

It was good because I liked it when the trolls ran away from the fire.
Coach Pluto Bucket 18.08.2021

I didn't like this book because I didn't like the story. I didn't like the dragons and the vikings because they were hurting each other. The trolls destroyed the village and weren't very nice and squished the houses.
Chief Flash Sparrow 21.08.2019

I though the book was great and my favorite character was the dragon because he scared the trolls away forever. Everyone was safe. I'm telling all my friends about this book its awsome.
Lady Daisy Dalmatian 29.07.2019
