How to Train your Dragon

Hicup Hourendous Haddock the third is not your ordinary viking boy. Well he is he just has done a lot of weird things like. 1. his dad is the king of the Hairy Hooligan Tribe. 2. When he signed up for the Dragon Initiation Program. Since he's the son of the king everyone thinks he'll get the biggest most powerful dragon. But instead he gets the smallest dragon with out no teeth, what's a better name then Toothless! 3. He learns how to speak the forbiten language Dragoneese, ands earns the nickname "Dragon Wisperer"! After all these things happen a war starts. To find out who wins the war you should read "How to Train your Dragon" by Cressida Cowel. I think this book is a fantisy because of all the make believe things. I recommend this book for action readers. I loved this book, and I think you'll love it to!
