How to Train Your Dragon
The How to Train your Dragon series follows the adventures of Hiccup the Viking who seeks to train rather kill dragons, and who turns out to be quite a hero. This series has spawned a number of animated movies.

'Cowell writes laugh-out-loud books with plenty of boy appeal ... Cowell's anarchic drawings suit the slapstick humour.' * The Herald *

'funny, outrageous and will lure in the most reluctant reader.' * The Spectator *
