How to Ride a Dragon’s Storm 7 (How to train your Dragon)

Product Description.
THE STORY CONTINUES in the seventh volume of Hiccup’s How to Train Your Dragon memoirs ….

Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III was an awesome sword-fighter, a dragon-whisperer and the greatest Viking Hero who ever lived.

But it wasn’t always like that. Hiccup’s memoirs look back to when Hiccup was just an ordinary boy, and finding it very hard to be a Hero.

Hiccup has three months, five days and six hours to discover America, get back to Berk, save his father, battle Polarserpents, AND win the annual Inter-Tribal Friendly Swimming Race.

Can he do it? (Tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock)

‘genius’ (The Times )
‘… Full of charm … Imaginative and bursting with inventive, off-the-wall humour, making them great stories to be read aloud.’

(Waterstones Books Quarterly )

‘another triumph from the creative pen of Cressida Cowell.’

(Writeaway.org )

‘… Inspired series … Its enchantment lies primarily in the comical, affectionate and often irritable relationship between Hiccup (the only nerd in the violent Viking Hooligan tribe) and his runty little dragon Toothless.’

(Amanda Craig, The Times )

‘Fiercely exciting and laugh-aloud funny, it is as full of joy for children of 7+ who have given up reading as for those who love it.’

(Amanda Craig, The Times )

Irresistably funny, exciting and endearing(Amanda Craig, The Times )

CHILDREN’S BOOK OF THE WEEK: This book is great fun and has a Blackadderish sense of humour … Full of the sort of jokes that will make schoolboys snigger.

(Nicolette Jones, The Sunday Times )

How to Train Your Dragon is a delightful narrative caper… It offers a challenging read to 11-year-olds, and rewards reading aloud, especially for those who relish an element of theatre at story time.

(Sunday Herald, Glasgow )

… Raucous and slapstick … Liberally illustrated with [Cressida Cowell’s] riotous drawings, notes and maps.

(The Financial Times )

[Cressida Cowell] puts a contemporary spin on the old brains over brawn moral and brings the story to a climax with a thrilling dragon duel.

Lots for lots of different readers to enjoy. (Books for Keeps )

‘a hilarious and gripping adventure, beautifully paced and studded with great dramatic scenes.'(Amanda Craig, Times )

Bulging with good jokes, funny drawings and dramatic scenes, it is absolutely wonderful. (Independent on Sunday )
