Dive into the hilarious adventures that inspired the HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON films! Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third is a smallish Viking with a longish name, and the son of the chief of the Hairy Hooligan tribe. Despite being the Hope and Heir to the throne, Hiccup often feels like an ordinary boy struggling to become a Hero. In the first book, he faces the challenge of leading ten novices through their initiation into the tribe, where they must train their dragons or risk being banished forever. But what if Hiccup's dragon looks more like a tiny brown bunny with wings and has no teeth? Meanwhile, the fearsome Seadragonus Giganticus Maximus threatens to devour every Viking on the Isle of Berk. Can Hiccup save his tribe and finally step into the role of a Hero? The series consists of 12 books, which can be enjoyed in any order, though they can be read in sequence for a complete experience. Titles include How to Be a Pirate, How to Speak Dragonese, and How to Fight a Dragon's Fury. The franchise has expanded into a major DreamWorks series featuring stars like Gerard Butler and Cate Blanchett, along with the animated TV series, Riders of Berk, available on CBeebies and Cartoon Network.
