Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

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.

When a huge, six-and-a-half-foot floating coffin with the words BEWARE! DO NOT OPEN THIS COFFIN arrives, can you guess what happens next?

The Quest to discover the treasure of Hiccup's ancestors begins and Hiccup needs to find it before Alvin the Treacherous gets his hands on it. But when a dragon called the Monstrous Strangulator is thrown into the mix, things are about to get seriously SCARY.

How to Train Your Dragon is a major award-winning DreamWorks film series. There is also a new live action movie due to be released in 2025. The TV series, Riders of Berk, can be seen on CBeebies and Cartoon Network.

School Library Journal Review

Gr 4-6-Cressida Cowell's Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III is off on another rousing adventure in this sequel (Little, Brown, 2005) to How to Train Your Dragon (Little, Brown, 2004). Hiccup, the son of Stoick the Vast, is the future leader of the Hairy Hooligan Viking tribe. The only problem is, Hiccup can't get any respect-not from his teacher, and certainly not from his classmates in the pirate-in-training program. When the boys meet Alvin the Poor-but-Honest Farmer and learn of the lost treasure of the legendary pirate, Grimbeard the Ghastly, they set off on an adventure that has Hiccup using all of his smarts in order to survive. With a cast of characters with names like Fishlegs, Snotlout, and Dogbreath the Derbrain, listeners are assured of a rollicking good time. Narrator Gerard Doyle infuses the characters with spunk and humor, creating hilarious visuals that make this a laugh-out-loud experience. Listeners do not have to be familiar with Hiccup's previous adventures to truly enjoy this outing. A solid addition to any collection.-Veronica Schwartz, Des Plaines Public Library, IL (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
