My summary of the book
Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III or Hiccup for short, is a young dragon whisperer. One day, Hiccup captures a toothless dragon whom he calls Toothless. Hiccup must train his dragon to become a hooligan tribe member to keep him alive. Will Hiccup succeed at that mission?
My thoughts
How to train your dragon by Cressida Cowell is a page-turner book. The story is humorous. The book’s characters are ambitious to succeed. Hiccup is a hero who isn’t very heroic, which makes him charming.
My rating
