How to be a Pirate reviewed by Louis


H.T.B.A.P.  is in the series of How to Dragon books by Cressida Cowell. It's very good if you like books with lots of pictures. I like that it is set in Viking times because it has lots of sword fighting between goodies and baddies. The main character is Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, who is the son of the Chief of the Hairy Hooligan tribe. Hiccup is a small skinny boy with freckles and red hair. He is very good natured and careful and clever and he likes playing with his best friend Fishlegs and his pet dragon Toothless. In his latest adventure, Hiccup is having a Sword Fighting at Sea Lesson when his boat hits a coffin!  In the coffin there is a 'True but Honest Farmer', still alive, who tells them there is a great treasure on the Isle of the Scullions. The whole tribe goes to the island to find the treasure and encounter lots of dragons and traps and an enemy in disguise. I recommend this exciting book to people who like stories with lots of swordfights, dragons and pirates.
