Twelve Hilarious Books!

Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third is a smallish Viking with a longish name. Hiccup’s father is chief of the Hairy Hooligan tribe which means Hiccup is the Hope and the Heir to the Hairy Hooligan throne – but most of the time Hiccup feels like a very ordinary boy, finding it hard to be a Hero.

In the first How to Train Your Dragon book Hiccup must lead ten novices in their initiation into the Hairy Hooligan Tribe. They have to train their dragons or be BANISHED from the tribe FOR EVER!

The books are set in a fictional Viking world, and focus on the experiences of protagonist Hiccup Horrendous Haddock The Third, as he overcomes a host of obstacles on his journey of Becoming a Hero, the Hard Way.
