How to Train Your Dragon: A Hero's Guide Deadly Dragons: Book 6

The hilariously adventurous exploits of Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third introduce a smallish Viking with a longish name who dreams of heroism. In this tale, Hiccup is the son of the Hairy Hooligan chief and the heir to a throne, yet he often feels like an ordinary boy trying to do something extraordinary. A peaceful birthday is on the horizon, but turmoil erupts when his father plots to steal the prized How to Train Your Dragon book. To complicate matters, Toothless—Hiccup’s dragon—has eaten it. A plan to borrow a copy from the Meathead Public Library leads to a chaotic encounter with the Horrible Hairy Scary Librarian, a swarm of guards, and Driller-Dragons. Through wit, courage, and a little luck, Hiccup faces the dangers of the library and his own limits on his journey to becoming a hero. The story is complemented by a Dragonese dictionary, and its enduring connection to the How to Train Your Dragon world grounds it in a beloved DreamWorks universe.

Cressida Cowell’s book is part of a bestselling series that inspired the DreamWorks films, and readers who enjoy humor, daring escapes, and clever dragon lore will find it a fitting introduction to Hiccup’s world. The publication by Hodder & Stoughton with 272 pages in paperback makes it accessible for readers stepping into epic adventures within a humorous, treasure-filled universe.
