Read the HILARIOUS books that inspired the HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON films!

Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third is a smallish Viking with a longish name. Hiccup’s father is chief of the Hairy Hooligan tribe which means Hiccup is the Hope and the Heir to the Hairy Hooligan throne – but most of the time Hiccup feels like a very ordinary boy, finding it hard to be a Hero.

Over on Lava-Lout Island, the volcano is ready to blow. Now Hiccup faces a terrifying Quest to Stop the Volcano Exploding, alongside his best friend Fishlegs and Humungously Hotshot the ex-Hero.

But not only is Lava-Lout Island full of EXTERMINATOR DRAGONS, Hiccup’s ARCH ENEMY is also lurking – and he’s seeking REVENGE!

How to Train Your Dragon is a major award-winning DreamWorks film series. There is also a new live action movie due to be released in 2025. The TV series, Riders of Berk, can be seen on CBeebies and Cartoon Network.

I thought this was a great book full of epic adventures, twisted lies and betrayal. My favourite part is when Alvin the Treacherous gets eaten by the fire dragon who saves the whole Archipelago from the Exterminators. The most terrifying part is when Hiccup is running from the lava and the Exterminators. I recommend this book to dragon and fantasy lovers.

This book like all the others was a magnificent book However this one was probably by far my favourite of all the ones I’ve read so far As this series continues to impress me I keep getting more and more engrossed into the books they truly are amazingly written
