The Great Book Blogger Written for and by Nixon's 4th graders

Summary – How to Train Your Dragon is about a boy named Hiccup. He and a group of other boys have to capture one sleeping dragon per boy and train their dragons for a competition. Unfortunately, Hiccup gets the smallest, most common dragon ever, and not to mention the most stubborn. As Hiccup struggles through training, many worries fall into place in his mind. Finally, the competition comes and Hiccup has a nicely trained dragon, but another problem falls into place. According to the dragons fight, all the boys will have to be put into exile. Fortunately, a giant dragon is blocking the way to the exile boats. Will Hiccup be able to be the hero, or will he be overtaken by his fear? Read the book to find out.

Recommendation – I rate this book 5 stars because it is very descriptive. It gives enough details to keep the book exciting, but it doesn’t give too many details that it bores you to death. I think this book is good for 3rd through 4th graders who like a real big surprise that no one would have guessed would happen.
