It's Hiccup's birthday, but that's not going to keep him from getting into trouble. To save his dragon, Toothless, from being banished, Hiccup must sneak into the Meathead Public Library and steal the Viking's most sacred book. But the Vikings see books as a dangerous influence, and keep them locked up and under heavy guard. To save his friend, Hiccup must brave the Hairy Scary Librarian and his dreadful army of Meathead Warriors and face off against the formidable Driller-Dragons. Will he make it out and live to see his next birthday?
I LOVE the How to Train Your Dragon Series, the books are humorous, the illustrations are awesome and the characters, well who doesn't love an unpredictable hero and an adorable green dragon (Don't tell Toothless I said that!)? Well, I know I do! This is the sixth installment in the series.
As soon as you open up and you're on the first page, you're engrossed in the story and you can't put it down and as you turn the page, your mind is already imagining what is going to happen next.
The characters, gosh, I adore them! My favourites? Hiccup, Fishlegs, Camcazi and Toothless! Hiccup is brave, although he doesn't really know it, Fishlegs is a good friend and a really worrypot, Camicazi, geez I love this girl, she can burgle anything from right under your nose and Toothless? He is just SO cute!
One thing I didn't really like was that, although it was page-turning, the plot was a bit simple, but everything else in the story mostly makes up for it!
If you're looking for a quick, humorous read, READ THIS! You really won't regret it!
I give it: 4 CUPCAKES!
