How to train your dragon

A Hero’s Guide to Deadly Dragons

Imagine a time of Dragon and Vikings, some dragons bigger than mountains some smaller than your fingernail, and when men were men and women were sort of men and even some little babies had chest hair. This How to train your Dragon book  really makes you feel like you're there, with the descriptive language and awesome characters. The book I’ve read is the sixth in the series, and was first published in Great Britain by Hodder children’s books, and all of the books are written and illustrated by Cressida Cowell.

Have you ever come across a book that however hard you try you can’t put it down? This is one of those books, as you follow the continuing story of Hiccup and his dragon Toothless. The more you read the more you want to find out what is going to happen next and will Hiccup complete his quest. Well this is one of these books

In this adventure Hiccups Dragon Toothless has burnt Hiccups tribes most valuable possession the “How to train your dragon” book(that Only has has three words “Yell at it”). His tribe the hairy Hooligans chief (Hiccups Father), made a bet with the Chief of the Bog-Burglars that they were just as good or better at everything than Bog-Burglars, and to prove this they had a competition. The Hooligans had lost most of the competitions and there was only one left, it was the burglary one.  Hiccups father Stoick was going to show the Bog-Burglars chief Big-Boobied Beartha the “How to Train your dragon” book to prove that the Hooligans are just as good as the Bog-Burglars at burglary.

Books are despised by vikings, they are seen as a threat to barbarian culture. Because they were banned they were locked up in the great Meathead Public Library, guarded by the Hairy Scary Librarian and his dreadful army of Meathead Warriors and Driller Dragons.  So scary was this Librarian that stealing a book from the library had become a challenge to the bravest viking warriors and very few could say they had succeeded in the attempt. This was how the Hooligan tribe had got the “How to train your Dragon” book.

Here is the problem Hiccup has to help his father as he does not want him to be sad, but the only other copy of the book is in the Meathead Public Library which is not so public as the Meathead tribe guards it day and night with there huge dragon by their side. This is where Hiccup is stuck, he can not do this on his own, he needs the help of his friends Fishlegs and Camicazi.

If you want to find out if Hiccup completes his quest, gets the book, doesn't disappoint his father and survives all the dragons along the way, you will need to read this book.  Hopefully you will enjoy reading this adventure of Hiccups as much as I did.
