Product Description

Review

'Outrageously funny and inventive ... a novel with huge appeal ... It's hard to beat this story for sheer entertainment and larger than life, distinctive - and differentiated characters.'

(Books for Keeps )

'Fiercely exciting and laugh-aloud funny, it is as full of joy for children of 7+ who have given up reading as for those who love it.'

(Amanda Craig, The Times )

PRAISE FOR HICCUP:
Irresistably funny, exciting and endearing

(Amanda Craig, The Times )

CHILDREN'S BOOK OF THE WEEK: This book is great fun and has a Blackadderish sense of humour ... full of the sort of jokes that will make schoolboys snigger. (Nicolette Jones, The Sunday Times )

How to Train Your Dragon is a delightful narrative caper... It offers a challenging read to 11-year-olds, and rewards reading aloud, especially for those who relish an element of theatre at story time. (Sunday Herald, Glasgow )

... raucous and slapstick ... liberally illustrated with [Cressida Cowell's] riotous drawings, notes and maps. (The Financial Times )

[Cressida Cowell] puts a contemporary spin on the old brains over brawn moral and brings the story to a climax with a thrilling dragon duel. Lots for lots of different readers to enjoy. (Books for Keeps )

Bulging with good jokes, funny drawings and dramatic scenes, it is absolutely wonderful. (Independent on Sunday )

Rollicking fun with a whiff of the past.

(The Guardian )

'Rollicking fun with a whiff of the past.'

(The Guardian )

Product Description

Fishlegs has been struck with deadly Vorpentitis. The only cure is rare and almost impossible to find … a potato.
But where on Berk will Hiccup find such a thing?

He’ll have to dodge Sharkworms, battle Doomfangs and outwit crazy Hooligans if he’s going to be a Hero ... again.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best thing since 'fish legs', 28 Dec 2007
David Tennant is a truly wonderful narrator. He brings the characters to life, unfortunately now my son wants me to read the books aloud and I can't compete (could David pop round to my place at about 8.00pm?!). All the Hiccup books are wonderful for children, boys especially, full of all the gross humour they love. Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really good, 11 Aug 2007
By Nina H "Ninalodo" (The Earth, Universe) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This book has more new charaters and tribes than before. It's one of my favourite of the series and it's outstanding! Suitable for ages 6 - 12!

5.0 out of 5 stars How to enjoy a long journey on a crowded train . . ., 13 Jun 2009
This is how, by listening to this audio book. David Tennant makes the whole story come alive, and truly it is difficult to believe that all those characters are acted by one person. From the mighty Stoic to the tiny Toothless, David Tennant has given each one a clearly recognisable voice. Thanks also to Cressida Cowell who has invented a superb hero in Hiccup. Long may he continue to thrive with David reading his adventures to us.
