How To Train Your Dragon 11 Ho By Cressida Cowell

Best book series for children ever

We were really looking forward to this instalment as book 9 ended on a bit of a cliff hanger. This book picks up and continues to take us on the roller coaster of emotions as we plummet head long to the final chapter in Hiccups memoirs. The book is well paced to keep younger readers hooked and the adventure comes thick and fast. The writer has built a really beautiful mix of characters through out the series and the situations that develop allow the reader to explore some complex themes. The redemption of a lost soul in this volume is both moving and exceptionally well written. In many ways the reader is left with a charming dilemma, the need to read on while realising that the end is neigh. My son and I can't for the next book, but it will be the last. For Thors sake, what will we do then?

Readers beware! Hiccups journey continues to get darker, dealing with more mature issues such as betrayal, acceptance and redemption. The magic that we have come to expect from Cressida Cowell is still there though, and the pace never lets up throughout the entire book. She also tells us, in absolute terms, that the next book will be the last one.All of the characters that we have come to know and love (or hate) over the past 10 books are here. The plot pushes forward with the inevitable force of a steam train and the portents for the ending are not optimitic.Please Cressida, don't keep us waiting too long for the final book!

The kids absolutely love this series. It’s a decent story with the underlying themes of the importance of friendship and what true bravery really means.

Got them for my 6 year old grandson I bought for 12 of them and he read them within 2 to 3 days I think they’re amazing and he loves them

You laugh you cry, another amazing Hiccup adventure. It's no 11 in the series, you can read each one individually but it's best to read them in order as Hiccup matures through the books. Fabulous series of books for bedtime stories, grown ups can get just as much from them as children. Hiccup's hunting dragon Toothless is an inspired creation and in our house he has jumped off the pages and lives in our imaginations.
