In this fourth Hiccup the Viking adventure, the unlikely hero quests after a cure for the deadly Vorpentitis disease that's stricken his best friend, Fishlegs. Zany sketchlike black-and-white illustrations, playful fonts, and silly gags continue the series's fun, although readers familiar with it may find this installment is just more of the same.
