Hiccup and his friends explore and add to their primary reference about dragons.

In the Great Hall, Hiccup and his fellow dragon trainers greet you as a new recruit. To get you started, the teen vikings and Gobber the Belch introduce you to their primary reference guide, The Book of Dragons. Together, you are taken on a tour of the amazing variety of dragon breeds as the young heroes add their new discoveries about handling them. Along the way, you follow the misadventures of the original author, Bork the Very, Very Unfortunate, who was fated to research his book the hard way.—Kenneth Chisholm ([email protected])

As Hiccup, Astrid, Toothless, and Gobber recount the extraordinary story of Bork the Bold, the original author of the indispensable Book of Dragons manual, prepare yourself for the ultimate challenge: become a dragon trainer. But first, we must learn everything about the diverse dragon breeds and the dos and don'ts of their seven distinct classes. Do you have what it takes to uncover their secrets? Are you ready to train your first dragon?—Nick Riganas
