Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third expects a routine lesson in battle skills at the Isle of Berk's Training School for Vikings and Dragons. The young Viking never plans to cause trouble, but his good intentions rarely matter. When the Art of Battle class goes wrong, Hiccup and his fellow Warriors-in-Training find themselves trapped on a damaged vessel in rough waters. The ship takes on water while storms rage around them. Hiccup must rely on his dragons Toothless and Windwalker to survive the crisis. At this training academy, Hiccup ranks near the bottom in most subjects, but his adventures prove that heroism comes in unexpected forms. The school shapes Viking and Dragon Heroes through trials that test courage, friendship, and quick thinking under pressure.
