Cressida Cowell — 2012

Read the books that inspired the How to Train Your Dragon films! This book will be a hit with children and adults alike. The story continues in the tenth volume of Hiccup's How to Train Your Dragon memoirs. When we last left Hiccup things were getting very dark indeed. The Dragon Rebellion has begun. Snotlout is the new Chief of the Hooligan Tribe. Stoick has been banished and given the Slavemark. And Alvin the Treacherous has EIGHT of the King's Lost Things, and has been proclaimed the new King of the Wilderwest ... But what can Hiccup do, now all alone and in exile, hunted by both humans and dragons? Can he find the Dragon Jewel, mankind's last and only hope? And if he does, what will he do with it? How to Train Your Dragon is now a major DreamWorks franchise. How to Train Your Dragon 2 hits cinemas in Summer 2014 starring Gerard Butler, Cate Blanchett and Jonah Hill and the TV series, Riders of Berk, can be seen on CBeebies and Cartoon Network.

These are definitely better as they go! A small irk regarding Toothless continuing to call Hiccup his "master" when the whole point is that Hiccup is trying to release all the dragons, and the comments in book 9 about Toothless and the Wind Walker loving Hiccup so much the red rage didn't take them over. This is an odd inconsistency- Hiccup should have at least once tried to redirect the language to really drive home he was committed to that promise. OTHERWISE. Great! Super enjoyed learning more about Fishlegs, Mom, and seeing Hiccup really come into his own.
