The hilarious series which inspired the Dream Works film. Hiccup has three months, five days and six hours to get back to Berk, save his father, battle Polarserpents AND win the annual Inter-Tribal Friendly Swimming Race. Can he do it???? David Tennant reads this hilarious children's clasic which can be enjoyed by everybody.

Must listen to kids and adults alike
Revisado: 07-22-17
I honestly didn't think I'm going to like this series so much when I purchased the first audiobook. The stories are wonderful, and David makes them so much more alive with his narration. Highly recommended, to children and adults alike. No age limit here!

Ten-year-old Jamie Matthews has just moved to the Lake District with his Dad and his teenage sister, Jasmine for a 'Fresh New Start'. Five years ago his sister's twin, Rose, was blown up by a terrorist bomb. His parents are wrecked by their grief, Jasmine turns to piercing, pink hair and stops eating. The family falls apart. But Jamie hasn't cried in all that time. To him Rose is just a distant memory.

A beautiful tale of grieving and maturing
Revisado: 12-31-16
I suppose death of a loved one is something all of us must go through, at least several times in our lives. The only differences are in the ways we cope and the age in which we first experience it.
The fact the whole story is told from Jamie's perspective - a ten-year-old boy - gives it honesty and a certain rawness you'd never experience elsewhere. Adults rarely talk about these things; rarely even acknowledge them - the way we cope with pain and loss, and the things we do wrong as we try to survive, as life goes on and nobody wants it to. Even though Jasmine's maturer than Jaime, she isn't quite an adult, either, and her perspective connects Jamie's view with the "adult view", so to speak - the things that are so clear to us listening to the story (or reading it) but he himself doesn't get. They certainly make unusual heroes in this world we live in. And the story, about love and loss and pain and family and racism and bullying and all those tiny little things that make up the human life, is beautiful. Yes, you will cry, but by heaven, it's worth it.
As for the narration: I'm a longtime fan of David's work, so that's hardly a surprise I loved it. David manages to portray every one of the characters, while keeping true to Jamie's view and world. As you're listening, you can literally see Jaime telling you these things; David becomes Jaime, in every sort of way, right until the end. He is absolutely magnificent. But then again, he always is.
