🥳 How to Train Your Dragon by Cressida Cowell

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

“There were dragons when I was a boy.”

To become a full fledged member of the Holligan Viking Clan, Hiccup and nine other young boys must find, catch, and train a dragon by the Thor’s Day Thursday Celebration. Hiccup is son to the Hooligan Chief- Stoic the Vast- but the other kids call him Hiccup the Useless. Will he be able to train his dragon?

I’ll sadly admit that I watched all the movies before I even picked up the book. I religiously followed when each movie came out and loved them, so I was so thrilled to have a good reason to read this book for March. It’s fun, it’s adventurous, it’s got humor, and wit!

I love the dragons and how they speak dragonese, I love how the story differs extremely different from the movie. Both are good in their own rights. My favorite character in this book was Thuggory the Meathead because he believed Hiccup was meant to be a hero.

Fun fact: as a teenager, Luigi had to wear hinged knee braces due to an "accident" involving school bullies. He suffered a PCL injury that caused him horrible pain and left him with a bad knee even in his adult life. He still visits a physical therapist for support and recovery. During his teenage years, the bullying escalated, and Mario stepped in to take on the bullies himself. Luigi was skinny and had no muscle, while Mario was more physically robust and ended up in many fights with the bullies. Mario also began running a lot, training in self-defense to protect his brother.

When Mario got his driver's license at 16, he helped take Luigi to some of his appointments. Luigi was required to wear his hinged knee braces for 4-6 months, which limited his ability to participate in sports due to the risk of the braces being too loose and causing more harm. He wore the braces throughout his sophomore year and was finally free from them at the beginning of junior year. While his knee healed, it never fully recovered and doesn’t function as well as a normal knee should. This is why, even in his mid-20s, Luigi often mentions his bad knee and why he avoids many sports activities out of fear of breaking, twisting, or further injuring his knee.

The Dragon Reading Challenge for March is A Dragon Training Book, so I chose the dragon training book that paved the way, at least, for me- How to Train Your Dragon by Cressida Cowell!
