Publisher Description

Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III was a Viking hero - dashing, brave, and ever so hairy. But even Viking heroes have to begin somewhere.... Toothless has been captured, the nanodragon is about to be gobbled, and Sharkworms are on the loose. Once again we are relying on Hiccup to be a hero.

"Similarly imaginative and quirky as the previous two outings, although it still draws fairly standard conventions from typical children's fiction. But the later books diverge a bit more. If you've read up to here so far and still haven't been impressed, pick up the next one."

    " I read these after watching the feature film from Dreamworks, which I greatly enjoyed. However, they are two very different things, no more so apparent than in the vastly different portrayals of Toothless. So, be aware of that. The books are amusing and easy reads for kids 7 and up. "
