A Hero’s Guide To Deadly Dragons: A Review by Lee Mitchell

The book, A Hero’s Guide To Deadly Dragons written by Cressida Cowell is a story about a young Viking called Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III. Hiccup has a dragon named Toothless who is going to be banished, he  has to stop this by stealing a sacred  book from the Meathead Public Library, but does he succeed...

The story is very entertaining and has very good illustrations which are always relevant to what is happening. The illustrations are drawn in a naive (basic) way which encouraged me and I’m sure other people to read the story. The pictures help you imagine what the characters look like, this always helps get more into the story and want to read on. The font for the book is bigger than usual so there is not as many words per page.
Hiccup is the Hope and Heir to the throne of the Hairy Hooligan tribe, he is in his first year of Pirate Training Academy but isn’t turning out to be much of a hero.  He is expected to be a hero, like his dad Stoick The Vast, the leader of the tribe.

In the back of the book there is a section that says about all the dragons in the story and all their specifications and specialties.

I was glued to this book when read it and you couldn’t get me away from the story. I would recommend this book to anyone that can read because it is so fun and enjoyable and has a good storyline that keeps you hooked. The words used in the story are easy to understand so many people can read it without getting confused. I would recommend reading all the story’s before because it is a series of books, this is one of the last. I never enjoyed reading but i loved this amazing story.
