In "How to Train Your Dragon" by Cressida Cowell, we follow the adventures of Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, a young Viking who struggles to fit in with his dragon-hunting tribe. When Hiccup captures a dragon, he must learn to train it instead of kill it. His newfound friendship with the dragon, whom he names Toothless, challenges the traditional Viking ways and teaches Hiccup about bravery, loyalty, and acceptance. As he navigates the trials of growing up and proving himself, Hiccup discovers that there's more to dragons than meets the eye, leading to an unexpected alliance that changes his village forever.
