Following Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third from awkward Viking apprentice to unlikely hero, this fantasy adventure series blends dry British wit with real heart. Perfect for readers aged 7 and up, it's an ideal gift for dragon fans and anyone who loved the DreamWorks films and wants to meet the funnier book versions of Hiccup and Toothless. About the Books Long before the films, Cressida Cowell's original novels introduced a very different, funnier Berk, narrated by Hiccup years after his adventures took place. Across all twelve books, Hiccup must survive dragon-training school, outwit rival Vikings, face sea monsters, and prove that brains and kindness can triumph over brute strength. Each book builds on the last, tracking Hiccup's growth from the smallest, most overlooked Viking on the island into the hero his tribe never expected. Illustrated throughout with Cowell's own scribbly line drawings, the stories mix laugh-out-loud humour with genuine emotional stakes, exploring friendship and courage. Fans of the films will recognise familiar characters, but will also discover a richer, quirkier mythology unique to the books, including invented dragon species and Hiccup's own witty asides. The series has sold millions of copies worldwide and is regularly recommended by teachers as a brilliant bridge into longer fiction. With twelve complete stories, young readers can follow Hiccup's whole journey in order, building reading stamina and vocabulary. Complete 12-book paperback collection — every title in Hiccup's story, ready to read in order. Ideal for ages 7 and up, supporting the jump from short chapter books to longer fantasy fiction. Illustrated throughout with Cressida Cowell's own distinctive line drawings. Fun for fans of the DreamWorks film franchise wanting the original book adventures. Great value versus buying twelve individual paperbacks separately. A brilliant gift for birthdays, Christmas, or encouraging reluctant readers. About the Author Cressida Cowell MBE is the British author and illustrator behind How to Train Your Dragon and the Wizards of Once series. She spent childhood summers on a small, uninhabited Scottish island, an experience that inspired much of Hiccup's Viking world. A former Waterstones Children's Laureate, Cowell writes and illustrates all her own books, and her work has been translated into dozens of languages and adapted into the globally successful DreamWorks animated film series. Why You'll Love This Set Twelve funny, fast-paced adventures in one collection, packed with dragons, Vikings, and Hiccup's dry wit. It's the complete story behind the films, perfect for gifting or growing a young reader's own home library. Please Note: Cover shown is the UK edition; ISBN reflects the UK edition as listed.
