Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
In his 4th sidesplitting adventure, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III must rescue his best friend, Fishlegs, from the deadly disease Vorpentitis. The only cure is rare and almost impossible to find...a potato. But where will Hiccup find such a thing? He'll have to dodge the terrible Sharkworms, battle Doomfangs, and outwit crazy Hooligans if he's going to be a Hero...again.
A fast paced plot, slapstick humor, witty dialogue and imaginative grey and white illustrations enhance this exciting tale.

My 7 year old son loved this book, which was irreverent enough to keep his attention. Anything with a dragon is usually a plus. After reading this one, he went on to another Heroic Misadventure of Hiccup book without missing a beat.
Rated by buyers -
Very difficult to find good, interesting books for boys in middle school, and this was one that he really liked very much.

Cressida Cowell cannot write enough books for my kids. Her stories are light easy reading with a lot a kid humor. Both my kids, a 9 year old boy and a 7 year old girl just love these books. The stories that center more on Toothless the Dragon are their favorites. The chapters are short and kids can't wait to hear the subsequent chapter. Half the battle in getting kids to read is to find books they WANT to read and any of Cowell's books will do the job and then some. Fun for parents too!
Rated by buyers -
This book is appropriate reading level for second to fifth graders, although mom enjoyed the story too! The character's names are unusual, Hiccup the Horrendous the Third, Gobber the Belch, Snotlout, but the names appeal to the kids. Hiccup is a Viking who doesn't fit in. He is a small kid who is kind and thoughtful. Most of the Vikings are large, tough, gross and ill mannered brutes. Hiccup's father must come to terms with his son's unusual ways. There are also three important dragons in this story. Character traits of loyalty, self reliance, honesty, persistence, empathy and friendship empower Hiccup to prevail.
