Hiccup is a scrawny boy who looks more like a breadstick than a warrior. But he's the son of the Viking king on the island of Berk, and he must prove his courage and strength to everyone. His test comes through leading ten young Vikings in the Dragon Initiation Program. While the other kids work with powerful dragon specimens, Hiccup ends up with only a toothless and very mischievous dragon. This unlikely pairing marks the start of an epic adventure and a deep friendship. Hiccup must find ways to succeed despite having what seems like the worst dragon of the group. The story follows his journey to discover that true strength comes in unexpected forms.
