Customer Reviews

Adventure Lovers!

My 7 year old absolutely loves this series and has been tearing through them with reckless abandon.

It was super, duper great!!! (Kid Review)

My Name is Jack and I'm 8 years old and I love to read. I read this book in three days because I just couldn't stop reading. I loved it because it was funny, surprising, and one of the best books I've read. My favorite part was when the boat sinks and Hiccup ends up in an underwater cave and finds the treasure of Grimbeard the Gastly. It's all about Pirates, Vikings and Dragons which I love. Now I am gong to find the other books in the series too!

Very Cool

Cressida Cowell does it again in this wonderful sequel of How to Train Your Dragon (which is also five stars). This is a fantastic book of a viking boy named Hiccup who is not exactly the best at swordfighting, dragon training, or being the king's heir. Unfortunitly, Snoutlout, the bully, is. When a strange Poor-but-honest-famrmer comes along and sends them all on a journey to an island where Skullions (the most dangerous and untrainable dragon ever) run wild, Hiccup must find the treasure before Snoutlout does, or he won't be the heir to the throne. This is a funny book, an enjoyable book, and a book about a boy who finds he is more than what he thought.

Awesome!

How To Train Your Dragon is a great book. It's humorous and there is adventure in this incredible book also. What I love about this book is that Hiccup, the Chief's son, changes from a coward to a hero.
