How To Train Your Dragon 10: How to Seize A Dragon’s Jewel

Author: Cressida Cowell

Publisher: Hodder Children’s Books

The Great War has started, and the Dragon Rebellion has begun. Snotlout is the new Chief of the Hooligan Tribe. Stoick has been banished and given the Slavemark. Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third is an outcast – when all he was trying to do was save the dragons from extinction.

Worse, Alvin the Treacherous has eight of the King's Lost Things, and has been proclaimed the new King of the Wilderwest ... But what can Hiccup do, now all alone and in exile, hunted by both humans and dragons? Can he find the Dragon Jewel, mankind's last and only hope and become the Hero once again?

The world may be dark in this instalment of Cowell’s supremely enjoyable Viking series, but friendship, loyalty and Hiccup’s intelligence will surely win the day.
