Book 9 introduces the dragon rebellion and it gets a lot scarier and bloodier. My daughter suggests that if the readers are faint-hearted to stop reading at book 8. She enjoys re-reading them and she also enjoys listening to the audiobook versions, which are highly entertaining with a talented voice actor! In one summer, she read all 12 books that we checked out from the library and now she wants to own the series because she loves it so much. Enjoy this book series as its own story and don't try to compare it to the movies or you'll be sorely disappointed.Ī friend tried to steer us away from the book series saying that the movies are much better but my nine-year-old daughter fell in love with the books in spite of the differences. And oh yes, there are also lots of dragons! Fishlegs, Snotlout & Stoick characters are also similar to the movies and that is pretty much where the similarities end. The primary similarity is the character Hiccup and how he is portrayed as a scrawny kid with a pet dragon named Toothless who both live in a barbaric Viking archipelago. Read the rest of Hiccup's exploits in the How to Train Your Dragon series in How to Be a Pirate, How to Speak Dragonese, How to Cheat a Dragon's Curse, How to Twist a Dragon's Tale, A Hero's Guide to Deadly Dragons, How to Ride a Dragon's Storm, How to Break a Dragon's Heart.First off, you have to think of this book series as a completely different set of tales than the movies. How to Train Your Dragon is soon to be a DreamWorks film starring Gerrard Butler, America Ferrera and Jonah Hill, out in March 2010 adapted from the best selling How to Train Your Dragon series by Cressida Cowell. It's time for Hiccup to learn how to be a Hero. Not loud enough to make himself heard at dinner with his father, Stoick the Vast not hard enough to beat his chief rival, Snotlout, at Bashyball, the number one school sport and CERTAINLY not stupid enough to go into a cave full of dragons to find a pet. In fact, in the beginning, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III was the most put upon Viking you'd ever seen. Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III was an awesome sword-fighter, a dragon-whisperer and the greatest Viking Hero who ever lived. THE STORY BEGINS in the first volume of Hiccup's How to Train Your Dragon memoirs. Read the original books before you see the How to Train Your Dragon film! With a film tie-in cover, this book will be a hit with children and adults alike.
