Summary

THE STORY CONTINUES in the fifth volume of Hiccup's How to Train Your Dragon memoirs ... read by David Tennant.

Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III was an awesome sword-fighter, a dragon-whisperer and the greatest Viking Hero who ever lived. But it wasn't always like that. Hiccup's memoirs look back to when Hiccup was just an ordinary boy, and finding it very hard to be a Hero. Someone has stolen the Fire Egg. Now the Volcano on Volcano Island is active and the tremors are hatching the eggs of the Exterminator dragons! Can Hiccup return the Fire Egg to the Volcano, stop the Volcano from erupting, AND save the Tribes from being wiped out by the terrible sword-claws of the Exterminators?

Great fun, action adventure as always

"Awesome!" says 7 yr old. "Good, but bit sad at the end," says 7yr old. Great story, action-packed adventures, funny characters, and brilliant voice acting by Tennant. We have enjoyed all the audiobooks in the series.

Another Fantastic Story,

Yet another gripping tale, as Hiccup goes on another quest, to save the island of Berk.
Made even better with the voice of David Tennant.

Very enjoyable

Another exciting adventure with plenty of twists and suspense to keep the whole family entertained on those long car journeys. David Tennant is brilliant at bringing the characters to life and maintaining great pace throughout.

I ♥️ Cressida Cowell and dragons 

Everything about it I mean dragons are amazing every books written about dragons or maybe another, but she has actually written are so good. I recommend this book. They’re amazing and also have a nice day. Keep loving dragons and if you don’t believe in dragons as it’s definitely not a book for you, that’s because you might like it and there’s a lot of fighting and there’s a lot of things in there and it’s just an awesome over👊👊👏🤜👍🏻🙌🏻🙌🫰🏻🫸🫸🫸🖐️🫷🫷👎🏼🙌🏻🤏👎🏼😿🤜😸😻🤜😸🤖👍🏻🤖👎🏼🙀🤖👐😸👺🤑💩👽😈😽🤠😺🤡🤒😺🤧🤧all
