I love the How to Train your Dragon series. How to be a Pirate, the second book tells about Hiccup, the main character, Fishlegs, Hiccup's best friend, Toothless, which is Hiccup's dragon, and the rest of the Hooligan tribe. It all starts when Gobber the Belch hosts the Swordfighting-at-sea lesson in the middle of the ocean. Hiccup has to fight Dogsbreath one of the strongest Hooligans. To be safe, they each have a wooden case on their sword. But when naughty little Toothless bites Dogsbreath in the bottom Dogsbreath takes his off and accidentally puts a whole in the ship and the ship starts to sink. Luckily, they find a coffin to float on. The coffin says DO NOT OPEN! But, the Hooligans open it and eventually Hiccup, Fishlegs, Toothless, and Alvin-the-poor-but-honest-farmer end up sinking with the ship trapping them under water. Will they all survive? Hiccup also has an odd feeling about Alvin. Is he honest or is it all a big lie? To find this out read How to be a Pirate by Cressida Cowell.
