How To Train Your Dragon by Cressida Cowell
Youth Fiction-Lower Level – Cowell

Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III is the 10 year old son of Stoick the Vast, Viking Chief of the Hairy Hooligans. Hiccup may be the chief’s son but he is not exactly Viking material. The first mission to becoming a heroic Viking the young boys must go on a trek and catch their own dragon and if you failed you were exiled from the tribe! Well Hiccup catches the scrawniest, smallest dragon there is! The dragon is named Toothless; he is also rude and lazy. The young Vikings must train their dragon and the only bit of advice they have is “yell at it, the louder the better!”. Hiccup is having the most terrible time training Toothless. He has tried yelling but it does not work so he tries to come up with other creative ways to train Toothless. After many failed attempts Hiccup finally figures out what will make Toothless listen.

On Thor’s Thursday, the final rite of passage for the young Vikings takes place. During the challenge Toothless offends another dragon and a fight breaks out causing all the young prospective Vikings to fail and be exiled. During their last night with the tribe a monstrous storm blows up and with it 2 sea dragons are washed onto shore. The sea dragons are ready to destroy everything on the island. Hiccup realizes it is his time to shine. He devises a plan that will hopefully change him from “Hiccup the Useless” to “Hiccup the Useful”. If the plan works he will save himself, Toothless and all the other boys and dragons from exile.
