Grade 4-6–The sequel to How to Train Your Dragon Little, Brown,
2004 continues the adventures of the son of Stoick the Vast and
future leader of the Hairy Hooligan Viking tribe. Although the
skinny, freckled Hiccup has more brains than the rest of the Hairy
Hooligans put together, he has a hard time garnering respect from
anyone, least of all his arch-rival, Snotlout. It doesn''t help that
Hiccup''s dragon, Toothless, is predisposed to hypochondria and
cowardice. During a pirate-training session, them meet up with
charming "Alvin the Poor-But-Honest-Farmer," who is keen to help
them discover the legendary treasure of Grimbeard the Ghastly.
After a series of hair-raising, humorous escapades on the high
seas, a deadly island, and an undersea cavern, Hiccup learns some
surprising things about his previously undervalued abilities. The
usual motifs of deceptive appearances, last-minute escapes, and the
merits of inner worth are addressed with humor that is accessible
to both reluctant and avid readers. Cheeky drawings in the style of
grade-school doodles add to the general appeal of the tale.–Farida
