In this fifth zany adventure about the very unlikely--and unlucky--hero, Hiccup finds himself protecting the Barbaric Archipelago from fiery demise at the claws of the Exterminator Dragons. These rare beasts seek the return of the sacred Fire-Stone. Amidst all the wackiness, the plot takes a while to get going. Cartoonish black-and-white illustrations enhance the humor of Hiccup's quest.
