Book Review

It was firesome page turning and I didn’t want to put it down!

Oh my gosh. This book was super exciting. The pictures were descriptive and made the book even more fun to read. From the moment I opened the book right up until the end I was captivated. It was firesome page turning and I didn’t want to put it down!

I really enjoyed this book because it was full of adventure and surprises. The story had lots of twists and turns that made me want to keep reading to find out what happened next. Sometimes I thought I knew what was going to happen, but then something totally unexpected happened instead, which made it even more exciting.

I loved the first book in the series, so I was very excited to read this one. I couldn’t wait to see what new adventures Hiccup and his friends were going to have, and this book did not disappoint. Their adventures were brave, funny, and sometimes a little bit scary, which made the story feel real. I felt like I was right there with them, joining in all the action.

I think this book is perfect for children who enjoy exciting stories with dragons, heroes, and big adventures. I really hope there is going to be another book in the series because I want to know what Hiccup and his friends do next. I would definitely read it straight away.

 

About the Book

Join Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third and his dragons, Toothless and Windwalker, in their hilarious, hair-raising adventures at the Isle of Berk’s Training School for Vikings and Dragons. Where they are BOTTOM in pretty much everything.

Disastrous Lesson Number Two: Boarding-An-Enemy-Ship-At-Sea

Hiccup and his fellow Vikings are SUPPOSED to be learning about enemy ships at sea. But when they come across a mysterious vessel, with a ripped sail and nobody driving it, Hiccup’s heart sinks. There is something deeply spooky about this ship.They really, really shouldn’t get onboard…
