How To Speak Dragonese - Cressida Cowell

Haddock III was an awesome sword-fighter, a dragon-whisperer and the greatest Viking Hero who ever lived. But it wasn't always like that. Hiccup's memoirs look back to when Hiccup was just an ordinary boy, and finding it very hard to be a Hero.

Climbing on to a Roman Dragon Rustling ship by mistake in your first 'Boarding an Enemy Ship' lesson is bad enough. But to then discover that Alvin the Treacherous is also on board proves to Hiccup he couldn't have been more wrong, especially when he steals his copy of How to Speak Dragonese. Can Hiccup save the dragons and the day?
This is the third book in the How To Train Your Dragon series. I can't tell you what I think because I haven't read this one yet. I have read the first two at the library but this is the first one I bought. There are a lot of differences between the book and film so I would suggest you read them in order. They are exciting, adventurous books aimed at younger children. They have illustrations throughout and have the feel of a real help guide written by a young viking boy.
