The odd saga of Hiccup the Viking continues. In a land where a guarded library prevents anyone from reading books, Hiccup and his friends attempt to break in and steal a sacred volume. Various dragons, bumbling Vikings, and other humorous details abound in this silly mishmash of fantasy tropes, which will appeal to established fans of Cowell's series.
