A bit heftier and a little scarier than its predecessors, this eighth chronicle of Hiccup and Toothless's misadventures will continue capturing young readers' imaginations. Hiccup faces an impossible task, a Beast, and the Uglithugs, just to name a few of his challenges. The story is action-filled and humorous, with the series' trademark quick pacing and silliness. Energetic sketchlike illustrations enhance the mayhem.
