How to Train Your Dragon (novel series) - Wikipedia

The Bog-Burglars and the Hairy Hooligans are invited to join the Murderous Tribe in a friendly swimming race. The winner is granted a single request by the three chiefs of the tribes. During the race Hiccup, Fishlegs, and Camicazi are captured by Raptortongues on their ship. Can they escape? How to Break a Dragon’s Heart (2009)

Fishlegs (in books 1–12) is Hiccup's best friend and supporting character in a number of books who is allergic to reptiles. He has a squint, asthma, his pet is the only vegetarian dragon on the planet, and he is seen as a wimp, but he has shown himself to be quite cunning when he needs to be. He is also fond of poetry and wants to be a bard in later books. He is not a Hooligan by blood but an orphan who washed up on Berk's shores as an infant, his parentage being a mystery to him until the identities of his mother and father were revealed to him in the tenth and twelfth books respectively. At the end of the final book, he founds his own tribe, the No-Names, and becomes a bard. At the moment, I'm reading an intense historical fiction novel set in Italy during WWII. After awhile I need a break from such a serious subject. I came across this lovely audiobook narrated by David Tennant, and knew that was just the thing I needed to listen to! I'm glad I did! Before now, I had only seen the animated movie of this story. I had never read the book. I love the movie.....but the book is so much better! The morals of this story are well-delivered. You can tell how Hiccup's methods pay off when, having treated Toothless with kindness and generosity such that no other Viking has, Toothless finally feels grateful enough to help him defeat the Green Death. This book is mainly aimed at nine-and-up-year-old boys, but I bought it for me, and I ended up reading it to my little sister, who enjoyed listening to it and surprisingly was able to overlook the fact that it was nothing at all like the movie she loved. Toothless was still her favorite character (and Hiccup mine!) Norbert the Nutjob (in books 4, 7, 12) is the Chief of the Hysterical Tribe and one of Hiccup’s enemies.

You know those rare moments in life when you loved the movie far more than you even liked the book? Well, that's How to Train Your Dragon by Cressida Cowell. This doesn't happen very often for me, but ultimately I find some movies really take the source material and change it for the better. Often, unfortunately, that happens when the source material either isn't great, has problems, or just plain missed out on an opportunity for emotional attachment. In the case of Cowell's novel, it's not that her story is bad but rather that the film's story is better, infinitely so, especially when it comes to emotionality. I came up with a fourth reason, haha. You have to read more of this overlong review of a book series that's still probably only being bought because people loved the movie so much (that's me being a hypocrite, la di da da...) I feel like I should update this review, given the amount of likes it's getting, and plus because the above review looks pretty mediocre to me now. Also, since then, I've read (and reread) the rest of the Hiccup books as well. Actually, this will be more like a list of reasons why you should read these books rather than an actual review of this one. The epilogue shows how Hiccup built a new kingdom of harmony on Tomorrow where humans and dragons could live in peace. Hiccup instructs Fishlegs to tell everyone that the whole story was just a myth. The series ends the way it began: "There were dragons when I was a boy..."Also, just fyi, there was not a single female character in this story that I noticed. Not a one. Apparently the Vikings figured out a way to procreate with only men, or with dragons. Of course, I don't think that's true. Women are just so unimportant they're wholly unworthy of mention. Thanks, movie, for adding in a wholly not historically accurate female character who was in the same class as the boys. I mean, there are dragons, so are we really that big on historical accuracy? Toothless eats Hiccup’s How to Train Your Dragon book on his 12th birthday. Hiccup has no idea what to do until he learns that there’s a copy at the Meathead Public Library. Hiccup decides that he must steal the copy from the library. How to Ride a Dragon’s Storm (2008)

How To Train Your Dragon - 10 Books (Box Set) - Cressida How To Train Your Dragon - 10 Books (Box Set) - Cressida

Cressida Cowell grew up in London and on a small, uninhabited island off the west coast of Scotland. She was convinced that there were dragons living on this island, and has been fascinated by dragons ever since. She has a BA in English Literature from Oxford University, a BA in Graphic Design from St Martin's and an MA in Narrative Illustration from Brighton. Cressida loves illustrating her own work, but also loves writing books for other people to illustrate as the end result can be so unexpected and inspiring. Cressida has written and illustrated eight books in the popular Hiccup series. The unique blend of child centred humour and sublime prose made Hiccup an instant hit. How to Train Your Dragon is now published in over 30 languages. A DreamWorks Animation feature film is out in March 2010. Also the author of picture books, Cressida has won the Nestle Children's Book Prize 2006 and has been shortlisted for many others. Cressida lives in Hammersmith with her husband and three children. Hiccup is hated in the village and is known to be weak and indecisive. He wanted to try to kill a dragon to improve his reputation among the Vikings. He was able to catch a small dragon, whom he names Toothless, and he started training it in his own way. Hiccup and his dragon Toothless come out as the heroes of this Viking adventure. How to be a Pirate (2004) Patience, Innocence, and Arrogance (in books 10-12), known as Shadow are the three-headed riding dragon of Fishleg. Actually I lie. Hiccup is very similar in character. An outsider at odds with his societal norms. A thinker in a world that's all about fighting. Also as in the film there is a hostile uber-dragon (two in fact) that is truly gargantuan.We loved the entire series and if there's ever a series that you should read, together with your young reader, this is it. Stormfly (in books 6–12) is Camicazi’s dragon. She’s a Mood-Dragon which means that her color changes depending on her mood.

The series was published by Hodder Children’s Books in the time period from 2004 to 2015. The events of the books take place in a fictional Viking world, where the protagonist Hiccup goes through a series of adventures to become a hero. There’s a film trilogy based on the books, created by Dreamworks Animation. Characters in the How to Train Your Dragon books These are great books with a fun and complex world of dragons and Vikings. Definitely a series I would recommend to children, even ones who are just working up to chapter books as these are simple to read and have plenty of fun and quirky pictures. Fishlegs (in books 1–12) is Hiccup’s closest friend. He’s seen as a wimp but he can be really cunning when he needs to be. He isn’t a Hooligan by blood. He washed up on the shore of Berk when he was a child.Basically, I kept expecting the story to end with a realization that dragons need to be treated more equally, considering that they're smart and have their own language and everything, but that didn't really happen. Like, at the end, I think they respect dragons a little more, but still plan to make the dragons do what they say. I just didn't really feel that much sympathy with the Vikings when the HUGE dragon arrives with plans to eat them, yanno? I'm just going to come right out and say it: book Toothless is awful. He's whiny and annoying and in no way endearing. I don't care about him at all in the books whereas in the movie I fall in love with him. This was perhaps my biggest gripe about the differences between the books. I couldn't stand one of the most important characters. Also, Toothless talks which, while not inherently bad, it did make it harder to connect with the characters in general. Again, there's that emotionality aspect; Toothless was kind of a jerk, something you wouldn't have felt as much had he not been able to talk.
