Product Description
It's Hiccup's birthday, but that's not going to keep him from getting into trouble. To save his dragon, Toothless, from being banished, Hiccup must sneak into the Meathead Public Library and steal the Viking's most sacred book. But the Vikings see books as a dangerous influence, and keep them locked up and under heavy guard. To save his friend, Hiccup must brave the Hairy Scary Librarian and his dreadful army of Meathead Warriors and face off against the formidable Driller-Dragons. Will he make it out and live to see his next birthday? |

Nore Hilarity by Louanne Crisp (Dallas, Texas)  5 Stars
October 15, 2009
Another hilarious book for boys from Cressida Cowell. My grandsons love them and I love to be around when they are reading and laughing out loud. My oldest grandson likes to read passages to anyone who will listen, but he has trouble because he is laughing too hard to speak. We donated a set of the first five books to his middle school and the librarian can't keep them on the shelf. She especially likes to recommend them to "reluctant readers".

Why is this book not in hardback?? by D. R. Folkerts (Germany)  2 Stars
January 20, 2009
My 9-year-old son ADORES this series, and can't wait to read this 6th book in the series, but we have been buying them all in hardback and really don't want to suddenly switch to paperback! :( I've searched everywhere on the web, and it would appear that a hardback edition of the newest in the series was never made... ???? What a disappointment!! Other than this latest format oddity, we're thrilled with the series.

My 9-year-old LOVES it! by M. Sarrao (New Mexico, USA) 5 Stars
March 02, 2008
I ordered this book for my son. He has read all the books in this series (this is #5 or #6) and I can't express in words how much he LOVES the whole series. He is a reluctant reader, but zips through these books in less than a week! This book is a bit longer than the preious books, so it took him a bit longer to read. I asked him if this title was better or worse than the other books. He said it was just as good as all the previous books. I love the series because it is about a little viking boy, Hiccup, who doesn't fit into the viking mold. He is the son of the tribe's chief, and thus the heir, but instead of being big, strong, and mean, he is small, smart, skinny, and a "book-worm." He is also a bit of a dragon-whisperer. He uses his brains and ingenuity to solve problems and outwit enemies. We know that he grows up to be a great leader of his tribe, because these books are written as translations of his memoirs that recently washed up on the beach! If your child loves fantasy, then I recommend these books.
