Read the book that inspired the new DreamWorks live-action film How to Train Your Dragon, coming in 2025!

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!

But what if Hiccup's dragon resembles an ickle brown bunny with wings? And has NO TEETH? The Seadragonus Giganticus Maximus is stirring and wants to devour every Viking on the Isle of Berk...

Can Hiccup save the tribe—and become a Hero?
