'If you haven't discovered Hiccup yet, you're missing out on one of the greatest inventions of modern children's literature.'

Rollicking fun with a whiff of the past.
Guardian
Bulging with good jokes, funny drawings and dramatic scenes, it is absolutely wonderful.

[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.
