Hiccup's father is chief of the Hairy Hooligan tribe which means Hiccup is the Hope and the Heir to the Hairy Hooligan throne - but most of the time Hiccup feels like a very ordinary boy, finding it hard to be a Hero.\n\nWhen we last left Hiccup things were getting very dark indeed. The Dragon Rebellion has begun. Snotlout is the new Chief of the Hooligan Tribe. Stoick has been banished and given the Slavemark. And Alvin the Treacherous has EIGHT of the King's Lost Things, and has been proclaimed the new King of the Wilderwest ... But what can Hiccup do, now all alone and in exile, hunted by both humans and dragons? Can he find the Dragon Jewel, mankind's last and only hope and become the Hero once again?\n\nHow to Train Your Dragon is now a major DreamWorks franchise starring Gerard Butler, Cate Blanchett and Jonah Hill and the TV series, Riders of Berk, can be seen on CBeebies and Cartoon Network.\n\nBook Description\n\nThe hilarious exploits of Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third - the smallish Viking with a longi","brand":"Hachette Children's Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40594212782165,"sku":"9781444908794N","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2481\/5790\/products\/4b08e726-2124-4240-8358-ca701b0f7b25_f06f968a-5ab6-48b4-a007-4af6ed1a8678.jpg?v=1682334716","url":"https:\/\/smeikalbooks.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/how-to-seize-a-dragons-jewel-book-11","provider":"smeikalbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
