How to Train Your Dragon: How To Cheat A Dragon's Curse: Book 4

Product Information

Every year, Cressida’s family spent four weeks of the summer, and two weeks of the spring, on the island. The family had to catch their own fish to eat. The house was lit by candle-light, and there was no telephone or television, so Cressida spent her time drawing and writing stories.

Technically, Camicazi stole the vegetable-that-in-this-review-shall-remain-unnamed, but that's splitting hairs.

Good lord, does Hiccup take charge in this book! There was very little of his typical "reluctant Hero" timidity here, while he still relied on his brains rather than his brawn (wait...what brawn?) to save the day. Once again, I was most enamored of the epilogue. The words of the aged Hiccup serve to reinforce the lesson that being clever and fair bear greater results than employing brute force and malice. I found myself getting all misty-eyed over his gratitude and wonder. Hiccup never takes his good fortune for granted - mostly because he works damned hard to earn it. Keep an ideas notebook so you can scribble down ideas and drawings. This doesn’t need to be neat, and no one should be correcting it for spelling, because spelling doesn’t matter. I kept an sketchbook for The Wizards of Once for about 5 years.http://www.emusic.com/book/cressida-cowell/how-to-train-your-dragon-how-to-cheat-a-dragons-curse/10133107/ AI Dubbing Automatically translate and dub new or existing videos in over 100’s of languages with AI video dubbing. I guess, the best part is the last two chapters. What a friend would do, to help another friend !! Hiccup + Fish Legs. Both, are tested !! Fiercely exciting and laugh-aloud funny, it is as full of joy for children of 7+ who have given up reading as for those who love it.' - Amanda Craig, The Times

Cressida Cowell Press Reviews

He places the listener, in the story. Excellent with the variety of voices he does, to perfection !! I enjoyed each of David Tennant's, characters !!!

Outrageously funny and inventive ... a novel with huge appeal ... It's hard to beat this story for sheer entertainment and larger than life, distinctive - and differentiated characters.' - Books for Keeps Headache with Temperature: Old Wrinkly's tasty medicine of sheep mucus and dead flies wrapped in cobwebs will soon have the patient bouncing out of bed. Did not have the time with children's attention spans. But yes, I shall, listen to this in its entirety !!

Users who reposted HOW TO CHEAT A DRAGON'S CURSE by Cressida Cowell, Read by David Tennant - Audiobook Excerpt How to Cheat a Dragons Curse is one of my favorites of the series. It is less dark and serious than some of the other volumes towards the end of the series but it is like home for me. It is like meditation in sense that it really relaxes me and lets me forget my worries as I enjoy some sarcasm and dark humor and comedic aspects of all those mad characters their meaningfull names and how they find themselves in all kinds of crazy imposdible situations and all those unexpected solutions to their problems. There's some of the best humor and jokes, found in this one. Of course the performance of David Tennant is unbelievably entertaining as well as it paints every second of the story so alive with all the voices of the characters and all those funny accents that you can immediately get lost in it for several hours on end without even realising it. I could go on and on about it, really. I'm a fan. Interestingly 1,500 years later, medical science has advanced to such an extent that we STILL don't know what to do with a virus.

If you can make up a game in the playground, or you tell your friends stories, you can be an author! Get an adult to write or type for you, if you need to. After school, Cressida obtained a BA in English Literature from Oxford University, a BA in Graphic Design from St Martin’s and an MA in Narrative Illustration from Brighton.

Bulging with good jokes, funny drawings and dramatic scenes, it is absolutely wonderful. - Independent on Sunday FISHEGGS, I have misjudged YOU. Yes I have. A Chief has to be big enough to admit it when he is wrong. You are a little weirdo, it is true, but you are a LOYAL little weirdo, and one day when my son is Chief I have a felling he will need some loyal people about him.' Our loyal and determined Hero sets out on an improbable quest to find an antidote, dealing with ridiculously large dragons, particularly nutty barbarians, and potentially fictional vegetables. As usual there are many giggles to be had, but How to Cheat a Dragon's Curse stands out as the most emotional of the series so far. There are several moments when Fate doesn't seem to be on Hiccup's side and his fear and disappointment are palpable. Since this is a kid's book, we adults will calmly reassure ourselves that everything must work out in the end, but children may not be so certain. Fishlegs starts acting very strange and the village soothsayer and doctor declares that he has been bitten by a Venomous Vorpent and thus has Vorpentitis and if Hiccup is unable to find THE cure by the next morning, Fishlegs will die. The cure, he tells Hiccup, is in the village of Hysterics, a particularly gruesome group of Vikings whose chief Hiccup happened to shoot slap bang at the bottom the previous day. This marvelous cure is in fact, a POTATO. Hiccup ventures on this dangerous quest with his dragon, Toothless and friend Camicazi and together they not only manage to get the potato but also encounter an ENORMOUS dragon that haunts the sea near the Hysterics's village called the DOOMFANG.
