Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III's best friend, Fishlegs, has been stung by the deadly Venomous Vorpent! The only cure is the Vegetable-That-No-One-Dares-Name. But where will Hiccup find such a thing? He'll have to dodge the terrible Sharkworms, battle Doomfangs, and outwit crazy Hooligans if he's going to be a Hero (again).

Иккинг Кровожадный Карасик III просто обязан стать  героем. Ведь он, во-первых, викинг, а они все герои, а во-вторых, сын вождя племени Лохматых Хулиганов, а тут уж и вовсе нельзя оплошать. Но Иккингу всегда лучше удавалось работать головой, чем мускулами. Придумать Хитроумный, Но Рискованный План и всех спасти — это пожалуйста.

In the book that started it all, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, the quiet and thoughtful son of the Chief of the Hairy Hooligans, tries to pass the important initiation test of his Viking clan by catching and training a dragon. Can Hiccup do it without being torn limb from limb? Join his adventures and misadventures as he finds a new way to train dragons—and becomes a hero.
