Read the books that inspired the DreamWorksHow to Train Your Dragonfilms. THE STORY BEGINS in the first volume of Hiccup'sHow to Train Your Dragonmemoirs...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. In fact, in the beginning, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III was the most put upon Viking you'd ever seen. Not loud enough to make himself heard at dinner with his father, Stoick the Vast; not hard enough to beat his chief rival, Snotlout, at Bashyball, the number one school sport and CERTAINLY not stupid enough to go into a cave full of dragons to find a pet... It's time for Hiccup to learn how to be a Hero. | How To Train Your Dragon (movie Tie-in) by Cressida Cowell, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
