Quite simply, Cressida Cowell has an exceptional ability to give children what they like. Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III is a Viking who doesn't fit in: gawky and geeky, his adventures with his hunting-dragon Toothless are madcap and marvellous. Give it to a child, and see them become engrossed immediately. * The Independent *
A laugh out loud romp of a Viking adventure * Observer *
Bulging with good jokes, funny drawings and dramatic scenes, it is absolutely wonderful * Independent on Sunday *
Perfect for tricky boy readers, as the action scenes are first-class. * The Sunday Telegraph *
What we have here is Harry Potter meets Blackadder. * The Glasgow Herald *
Full of bright wit, this is a brilliant book that launched a huge series...a fantastic adventure that explores failure as well as success and weighs the cost of being different against the price of fitting in * The List *
Pretty much everyone I know who has children adores these audiobooks and have listened to them on many a long (and otherwise fractious) car journey. Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III is a famous dragon trainer but he had to learn the hard way. Proper LOL funny as read by former Doctor Who David Tennant, you'll love listening to them too. -- Sarra Manning * Sarra Manning, Red Magazine Online *
