How to Train Your Dragon
Description
The book follows the story of a young Viking named Hiccup who lives in a tribe where being a great dragon slayer is the highest honor. However, Hiccup is different from the other Vikings as he is clumsy and not very strong. Despite this, he wants to prove himself to his father and the other Vikings. One day, Hiccup and his friends stumble upon a dragon nest, and Hiccup injures a dragon while trying to kill it. The dragon, a Night Fury, is the most feared dragon species, and Hiccup is surprised when it doesn't kill him. Instead, the dragon, which Hiccup names Toothless, becomes Hiccup's unlikely friend. Hiccup and Toothless form a strong bond, and Hiccup learns that dragons are not the monsters he thought they were. However, the other Vikings are not convinced and are skeptical of Hiccup's claims about Toothless. When a powerful dragon named the Red Death threatens the Viking village, Hiccup and Toothless must team up with the other Vikings to defeat it. In the end, Hiccup and Toothless save the day, and Hiccup learns the value of trust, courage, and compassion.
