This book is the 3rd book of "How To Train Your Dragon." It's when Hiccup is still training to become a viking (also known as viking in training). He & Fishlegs (with their dragons) where on "The Hopeful Puffin." Their task was to retrieve a helmet from the fishermen, but of course with their luck
This book was different from the 1st. It's not really good, I got bored when I was reading it. I expected it to be better like the 1st one, but I guess it's just not. Because the story wasn't that intereting to comprehend, I don't know why I read it. Well, since I read itat least I know how it is (not good). Uhm, the only interesting part was when the Sharkworms come, cause I'm afraid of sharks. So, I thought that was neat. I suppose people do have different opinions about things cause this book is scored : 4.12. The way the book was written was okay, not the best. Well, I guess I can't be fully NEGATIVE about this book. So, the cool thing was when Hiccup & Fishlegs boarded the Roman ship in mistake of the fishermen.

they end up getting scared Sharkworms (killer dragons) and end up on a Roman ship. Turns out these particular Roman are Dragonnappers (take dragons). They make it back home. The folllowing day they get kidnapped and the Roman kidnappers dress up as the Bog-Burglars. So, that the 2 tribes would fight against each other, if the Heir of the tribe was kidnapped (the kidnappers didn't know which one was the Heir Of Hairy Hooligans, so they gotboth Hiccup & Fishlegs). While they're kidnapped they get sent to a tower and meet the Hier Of The Bog-Burglars, Camicazi. Trying to escape, but not succeding the 3 kids wait for Hiccup's dad's rescue party to come any minute, but never showed up. Close to death, in the arena with Sharkworms everywhere Hiccup's helper dragon comes to the rescue. They escape finally, and Hiccup's dad's rescue party came late, though (at least they came). The 3 friends cameback home and the tribes where friends and never fought again.This book was different from the 1st. It's not really good, I got bored when I was reading it.

It was kinda easy to read and was short, it was perdictable and not really forth-coming

Book three of the How To Train Your Dragon series. It was hilarious when Alvin was accidently telling his dragon to put him in the toilet and pick his nose while trying to speak dragonese.

Hiccup and Fishlegs are learning how to board an enemy ship, but instead find a Roman battle ship and get taken hostage and made to fight in a gladiator arena. This series is very much for kids, but with David Tennant as the reader, I have to admit to enjoying them quite a lot. Funny characters,

and lots of talk about poo and boogers for the little ones to enjoy. Show Less

Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III and friends are back for another adventure. Silly fun and the audiobooks are read by David Tennant.

The author has our hero take on the Romans. Probably the weakest plot of the three I have listened to, but still very entertaining.
LibraryThing member LaviniaRossetti
Maybe it was the fact that the book was a bit too long, or maybe it was a bit easy; but anyhow, this book wasn't the best for me. The characters weren't my sort, I suppose, as I like more serious plots and things, not little cartoon characters and strange, wild haired Camicazis. It's a bit odd,
Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III is back. This time, though, his beloved dragon Toothless is lost, the secret identity of the Thin Prefect is not revealed until later through the book, and Hiccup and his best friend Fishlegs are nearly eaten by Sharkworms...
The end, it would be. But cowardly as they are, the two friends are clever, and with another 'Master Escaper' companion, they may well be able to escape from the Romans that capture them..
Or will they? Read more to find out..

A Viking lesson in pirating takes a strange turn when Hiccup and his best friend, Fishlegs, accidentally raid the wrong ship while trying to escape Sharkworms. The two lads rescue a tiny yet arrogant nanodragon named Ziggerastica, but then they are kidnapped as part of a vicious plot to steal every dragon on the Isle of Berk! Hiccup must rely on his tiny new friend, and his ability to speak Dragonese, to save the day again.
