MEDIA REVIEWS
Funny, thrilling and ideal for children needing to discover the hero inside themselves - The Times
If you haven't discovered Hiccup yet, you're missing out on one of the greatest inventions of modern children's literature
Proper modern classics - Sunday Express
Quite simply, Cressida Cowell has an exceptional ability to give children what they like. Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III is a Viking who doesn't fit in: gawky and geeky, his adventures with his hunting-dragon Toothless are madcap and marvellous. Give it to a child, and see them become engrossed immediately. - The Independent
A laugh out loud romp of a Viking adventure - Observer
Bulging with good jokes, funny drawings and dramatic scenes, it is absolutely wonderful - Independent on Sunday
Perfect for tricky boy readers, as the action scenes are first-class. - The Sunday Telegraph
What we have here is Harry Potter meets Blackadder. - The Glasgow Herald
Full of bright wit, this is a brilliant book that launched a huge series...a fantastic adventure that explores failure as well as success and weighs the cost of being different against the price of fitting in - The List
Pretty much everyone I know who has children adores these audiobooks and have listened to them on many a long (and otherwise fractious) car journey. Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III is a famous dragon trainer but he had to learn the hard way. Proper LOL funny as read by former Doctor Who David Tennant, you'll love listening to them too. - Sarra Manning, Sarra Manning, Red Magazine Online
