Grade 3-5–The misfit hero of How to Be a Pirate (Little, Brown, 2005) returns in another Viking tall tale. Chief's son Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, his friend Fishlegs, and his cranky dragon, Toothless, get separated from their class during Boarding-An-Enemy-Ship practice. The peaceful fishing boat they are supposed to attack turns out to be a prowling Roman galley, crewed by some of the Empire's least-distinguished legions. The invaders are plotting to provoke war among the Viking factions by kidnapping the heirs of Hiccup's own Happy Hooligans and the Amazonian Bog-Burglar tribe. Then, while the locals are occupied, the Romans plan to make off with the entire dragon population of the islands. With the help of Bog-Burglar girl warrior Camicazi and the bumblebee-sized dragon Ziggerastica, the boys must find a way to counter the treacherous plan before they all end up facing combat to the death in the local arena. There is a lot of raucous humor and mock-heroic dialogue; ridiculous names add to the fun. The theme of brains over brawn is well defined. Warriors, Roman and Viking alike, are loud-mouthed, bullying braggarts, easy targets for clever, scrawny Hiccup. The sketchy, childlike black-and-white cartoon drawings are amusing but occasionally indistinct. Jon Scieszka's Time Warp Trio books (Viking), for slightly younger readers, have a sharper, more literate sense of twisted history, but the broad humor of Hiccup's misadventures will appeal to reluctant readers.–Elaine E. Knight, Lincoln Elementary Schools, IL

Awesome Book!!!Two Thubs WAY UP!!!!!!!!
By A Customer
I liked How to Speak Dragonese for several reasons. It had lots of humor, with that little side of fantasy(both my favorite genres!)I didn't really dislike anything in this book, it was SO GOOD! I think this because whenever there was a "The End," or "And they lived happily ever after," another challenge popped up for the main characters within the next few pages. This creates lots of suspense!
The setting in this book is in the past. They travel by non-motor boat and balloon, not by cars, planes, and steam boats. Once you start reading this, though, you can easily tell that it takes place in the past. It takes mostly takes place in the Barbaric Archipelago, but it also takes place a little in the Sea like a Woden's Bathtub, and the Isle of Berk.
Here's the basic outline of the plot: Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third has his dragon, Toothless, stolen by the Roman Empire! He tries to send a search party for Toothless, but before he can, the Romans take him and Fishlegs(Hiccup's best friend)to the Roman Empire,too! They both have to get out of the Empire without getting eaten by dragons!
The main characters in thsi book are:
Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third: Hiccup never wants to give up; he is always trying his best in life. He is also somewhat funny.
Fishlegs: Fishlegs is Hiccup's best friend, but he is VERY clumsy, not very good at things, allergic to practically anything, and very scared.
Camicazi: Camicazi thinks she is always better then boys(she is a Bog Buglar, and all Bog Burglars are girls,) an aggressive sword fighter, nad sometimes odd.
Toothless the Dragon: Toothless is a VERY funny and unique dragon. this is becaouse he is so samll, and he has no fangs(that is why he is called Toothless.) He is Hiccup's dragon.
I would recommend How to Speak Dragonese to anyone who likes fantasy and/or adventure. If you like those genres, and you start this book, you wont be able to put it down!(At least I wasn't!)
HAPPY READING!!!!

"How to Speak Dragonese Book Report" by my daughter Stephanie Age 9 1/2, 4th Grade
By Becky Christiansen
MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS:
This book takes place in the time when the Romans had conquered most of the world, Vikings sailed the sea, and dragons filled the skies. In other words, the book takes place in the fictional past. I estimate that the year was in between the 700's and 1000's.
This is the 3rd book in the series. The setting is in two main places. One place is an isle named Berk. This is where Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III lives. The other place is Fort Sinister which is on another isle northwest of the Roman Empire. Hiccup and his dragon get stuck here later in the story.
The main character of the story is Hiccup. Hiccup is supposed to be the next Chief of the Hooligan tribe. Unfortunately, Hiccup has no Viking let alone Chief materiel. He has bad grades in Burping, Frightening Foreigners, Ruderey, Hammer throwing, Ship building, Boarding an enemy ship, and Basheyball. Thankfully, he has a good grade in Sword fighting.
Hiccup's dragon's name is Toothless. Toothless is small, maybe the height of a No 2. pencil. Despite his name, Toothless has one small tooth. Although he usually bites with his gums. Toothless, and all other dragons, speaks a language called Dragonese. Toothless' species of dragon is either Common, Garden or Basic Brown.
There are many conflicts in this story, but the main one is that Hiccup, Toothless, Fishlegs( Hiccup's best friend) and Camicazi ( the heir to the Bog-burglar tribe) were all kidnapped and taken to Fort Sinister.
First, Toothless ended up on Fort Sinister. Hiccup and Fishlegs were sailing The Hopeful Puffin , their boat, trying to board a Peaceable fishing boat and take their helmet, when they mistook a Roman dragon-capturing ship for a Peaceable boat (which is odd because the two look nothing like each other). To summarize, Toothless pooed in the Prefect's helmet and was captured by the Romans.
While on the ship, Hiccup saw the Roman's secret plans to capture all of the dragons of both Hooligan and the Bog-burglar tribes! Here is how they would do it. Two of them would disguise themselves as Hooligans are kidnap the heir to the Bog-burglar tribe (Camicazi) then vise-versa. While disguised as Bog-burglars, they couldn't decide who the heir was. All they had heard was that the heir was a weedy-looking kid. Hiccup and Fishlegs were both weedy-looking kids so the Romans/Bog-burglars took both of them. then the Romans expected the two tribes to go on a blood feud which is basically a war with a very confusing chart in the past. Since they were fighting, the Romans could capture the dragons without being noticed! Hiccup had to put a stop to it.
While on Fort Sinister, in the Tower, Camicazi was planning all sorts of crazy escape plans such as digging a tunnel with Hiccup's helmet. She tried that and ended up in the Consul's bathroom while he was bathing. Hiccup spent most of the time staring out the Tower window hoping that his father, Stoick the Vast, would come and rescue him. On Saturn's day Saturday there would be a Games festival and the four would be used as bait!
Like all stories, this one has a problem. It also has a solution. Back on Berk, Hiccup met a dragon that the Roman Consul was going to put in his food. His name is Ziggerastica. Ziggerastica told Hiccup that if he was in a life-threatening situation that he would save him. Ziggerastica is about the size of an acorn. Hiccup has very low hopes. But in the end, Ziggerastica saves Hiccup from deadly Sharkworms.
The purpose of the book is to entertain. The book is fantasy and fantasy books are meant to entertain. The book is funny and will have you turning pages faster than you can say "dragon". I recommend this book to anyone who likes "adventure cake" with "suspense frosting" and "humor flavored sprinkles"

Very entertaining and well done

How to Speak Dragonese (Hiccup)
I was worried at first that my 6 year old would have trouble understanding the narrator's accent, but from the first words he was fascinated with this exciting story. The accent adds powerfully to the feel of the story, very Viking sounding. We quickly figured out that this story and the movie have little in common but that didn't matter a bit. I immediately ordered two other audio CD's in this series. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get the first one and get the story from the beginning, but my boy has no problem figuring out the time line so when we do get it we will just start over from the beginning so we can hear them in sequence. Meanwhile we are really enjoying these.
In this story Hiccup has been collecting data on the language of the dragons and he alone is able to communicate with them. He put all the information in a notebook which he always carries with him. While out with his class for a pirating lesson he and his best friend Fish Legs get lost in the fog, accidently board a Roman Ship, Toothless is captured, the boys escape, then they are kidnapped, run into Alvin the Treacherous. Alvin quickly figures out how valuable the book of dragonese would be for his plan to control dragons and take over the archipelago. The book is accidently sliced in half and he gets one half of the book. The Romans (guided by Alvin the Treacherous) also kidnap the heir of the Bog Burglars, Kamakazi, and the three kids work out a plan to escape.
Each of the Dragon stories has a unique plot, no formula story here. Now that I've heard three stories I see they are woven together so we get to know the people in the stories. The characters each have personality that resonates. Just their names are hilariously funny using all the words my boy is not allowed to use at school such as Snot Lout, Fish Brains, Duh Brain. Just that aspect of the stories alone cracks up my 6 year old. They put stinging worms in someone's knickers to get even for an offense. Antics on the verge of misbehavior but pulling back from the brink of being a "bad influence". I highly recommend all of this series for loads of fun entertainment. We own the books as well now but listening to them narrated is so much better. It really captures that Viking feeling.
