Action-packed, hilarious, and perfectly illustrated, the How to Train Your Dragon series is a beloved modern classic with millions of fans across the globe. Journey into the adventure that started it all for Hiccup and Toothless!

A dragon rebellion is coming—filled with the meanest, nastiest dragons in the Archipelago. Razor-wings, Tonguetwisters, and Vampire Ghouldeaths are attacking Vikings and seem to be seeking one soul in particular: Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third! Only a King can save them...and only a champion with all of the King's Lost Things can be King. In his adventures, Hiccup has collected quite a few "things" himself. But can a scrawny Viking save the entire Archipelago from certain doom? To find out, Hiccup will have to outwit a witch, fight his arch-enemy, and beat back an army of bloodthirsty dragons with just one sword.

Ratings and reviews

I've been reading the whole series for over a month now and Ive really enjoyed it, I love how the story is developes and the characters amaze me but some make me want to make them into reality so i could punch them, the dragons designs and their statistics are very creative, this is a great series, nothing compared to the movies. If you've seen the movies you also need to read the books, they're a whole different story.

I have a question, if Alvin is an outcast, how does he become King of the Wilderwest when Hiccup can't because he is an outcast ?

Have not read it yet but know it's amazing from the other books
