How to Train Your Dragon #5: How to Twist a Dragon's Tale

An August heatwave has struck the Isle of Berk, and some say it is a deadly omen of fire-terror and dread. Well, it’s the Old Wrinkly who says that, actually… but for once he’s right! The Fire Egg has been stolen by a cunning thief, and now the volcano on Volcano Island has awoken… hatching the hidden eggs of the terrible sabre-clawed Exterminator dragons. Terror and laughs are afoot!

  • Laughs and thrills with our favourite nerdy hero
  • A wonderful mix of humour, suspense and excitement
  • Hilarious writing paired with witty pencil cartoons
  • Hiccup’s books are now major Hollywood films
