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.
If light amusement is required, Cressida Cowell's How to Break a Dragon's Heart delivers all it promises. There are lots of illustrations and a playfulness with language that will draw in even the most reluctant reader. - Daily Telegraph
Cressida Cowell's splendid series about the nerdy Viking Hiccup and his tiny dragon Toothless remain perennial favourites, and the latest, How to Break a Dragon's Heart is not only funny, well written and thrilling, but also wise about what we owe those who love us. - Amanda Craig, The TimesIf you haven't discovered Hiccup yet, you're missing out on one of the greatest inventions of modern children's literature. - Julia Eccleshare, Guardian children's editor... full of charm... imaginative and bursting with inventive, off-the-wall humour, making them great stories to be read aloud. - Waterstones Books QuarterlyAhead of the film of the same title due to be released next March, this is a special edition of the first book in the uproarious series about Viking Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III. Highly original, and full of useful tips for dragon-owners everywhere. - Woman's WeeklyWith consistently funny stories told in inventive language - including the opportunity to extend your knowledge of Dragonese - these books always entertain. - Waterstone's Books Quarterlyanother triumph from the creative pen of Cressida Cowell. - Writeaway.org... inspired series... its enchantment lies primarily in the comical, affectionate and often irritable relationship between Hiccup (the only nerd in the violent Viking Hooligan tribe) and his runty little dragon Toothless. - Amanda Craig, The Times
