Hiccup is training to be a viking in the Hairy Hooligan tribe.In order to be a part of it,he had to steal a dragon from a cave and train it.he ended up getting a basic Common or Garden dragon.He didn't even have any teeth!That's why he named him Toothless.He had to train him by the Thors'day Thursday festival.It didn't help that he was stubborn.After trying multiple techniques,Hiccup bribed him with jokes.He then caught a bunch of mackerel for him.So,he went to the festival.But,due to a fight,Hiccup and Toothless failed the test.So,he own FATHER had execute him!But then there was an evil monster called Green Death.Hiccup was one of the few who could speak dragon.So they had him fight him and with a little help from friends,they defeated the evil beast!Not only were they not executed,but they became heroes!

I loved the setting of Midevil and all the interesting names!

Narnia:Magicans's Nephew Reviews
