A Viking initiation and an unconventional dragon trainer

Set among the Hairy Hooligan Vikings, Cressida Cowell’s fantasy begins with Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III facing his clan’s initiation test: catch and train a dragon. The challenge puts a thoughtful boy in a tradition built around proving himself, while the dragon-training task opens a path to doing things differently. The premise combines clan customs, dragons, and a young protagonist’s effort to find his place. As the first book in a series, it introduces Hiccup and Toothless at the start of their adventures.
