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?

In book 5 of the popular "How to Train Your Dragon" series we find out that there is more to Hiccup and Alvin's relationship. We learn that their fates and fortunes are intertwined and this leaves us wanting more from the next books in the sequence. Without giving anything away (or "spoilers" as David Tennant's doctor put it) this is a fantastic story full of Cressida Cowell's usual humor and excitement with that extra twist. It's a story for kids that is just as entertaining for adults to listen along, enhanced by the great acting ability of David Tennant who puts a great deal of effort into bringing each character to life using different accents, tones and personalities. The original music is great too.

Thoroughly enjoyable. Would recommend for long car journeys with the kids as it keeps everyone's interest throughout (and the peace!).
