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.

Hiccup’s best friend Fishlegs thinks he has a nasty cold, but Old Wrinkly has diagnosed . . . VORPENTITIS, caused by the sting of a Venomous Vorpent, which is pretty much ALWAYS FATAL!

The only antidote is the Vegetable-that-No-one-Dares-Name – the POTATO. But the only way for Hiccup to find the cure is to face Norbert the Nutjob and the terrifying Sea Dragon, the DOOMFANG.
Can Hiccup survive the quest to save his best friend – and discover how to cheat a dragon’s curse?

How to Train Your Dragon is now a major DreamWorks franchise starring Gerard Butler, Cate Blanchett and Jonah Hill and the TV series, Riders of Berk, can be seen on CBeebies and Cartoon Network.

I really liked this book a lot because it has a very scary end unlike most children’s books.

It was cool when hiccup had vorpentitis and that word i had to spell from the book because it is a insane word

12 Aug 2022

It is really funny because they think fishlefgs is going to die but in the end hiccup was the one to die but he didn’t

29 Jul 2022

I did like this book because it was funny. My favourite character was Camicazi, but for funniness, Norbert the Nutjob. I would recommend this to people.

awsome

12 Jul 2022

This is scary but I loved it so much. There is a heart-breaker at the end, but it is happy at the end.

08 Apr 2022

This fantasy book is phenomenal! With pondering questions, cliff-hangers and illustrations, Hiccup needs to find the only potato! But does he think he can get away with the doomsfang! But little does he know who got vorpentis, when Fishlegs got sick!

11 Jan 2022

This book is one of the good books I would recommend for people who like dragons.

12 Dec 2021

I liked this book because it was funny and adventurous and a bit sad

28 Sep 2021

Hiccup was the person who actually got stung by the venomous vorpant but because he went on the mission to save fishlegs he didn’t die. Fishlegs shotted him with the arrow that had been stuck in the potato and saved him. Camicaze was so funny teasing Norbut

05 Sep 2021

This adventurous book was about a young boy called hiccup who started off as an amateur dragon trainer at start but climbed his way to the top and and eventually had to beat his enemy snotlout my favourite character in this story is hiccup because he was a courageous and brave boy that never gave in and fought till the end.

04 Sep 2021

I like their quest to go to Hysteria because it was a really fun quest and when they went in the great hall, it ruined everything! It was very exciting and surprising! I liked Hiccups very clever idea to save himself.

03 Sep 2021

I think this is a great book of friendship.My favourite people are Hiccup and Camicazi because even though Fishlegs didn’t have Vorpentitis,everyone thought he did, they still went on the quest for the only nearest…POTATO.When the dreaded DOOMFANG ate it! What will they do?????!!!!! I would recommend this book.

26 Aug 2021

My favourite characters were Hiccup and Camicazi because they worked together and did a good job.

24 Aug 2021

I liked this book because it is funny . My favourite thing is the-thing-that-nobody-dares-name* (I would tell you but it's bad luck to say out loud) and my favourite character is toothless because he is grumpy and funny. I recommend it to people who have a dragons curse on them that they need to cheat. I also recommend it to people who like unpredictable adventure stories.

* CLUE: OTATOP IS IT BACKWARDS

I liked the bit when they went across the ice in a sleigh pulled by dragons.

19 Aug 2021

also amazing

13 Aug 2021

Dangerously crazy, I loved it, it's so cool.

13 Aug 2021

I would recommend this book. I liked Norbet the Nutjob best because he says 'Royal Buttocks'! The scene I liked the best was the closing scene because the Vorpentitis was Hiccups not Fishlegs which was an unexpected twist.

11 Aug 2021

It was quite funny when they were searching for the potato, but the end was quite scary. Camicazi was my favourite character because she was cocky. I would recommend it if you enjoy funny stories.

10 Aug 2021

It was very strange that they were not allowed to say potato.
