5. How To Steal A Dragon's Sword by Cressida Cowell

The How to Train Your Dragon series chronicles the adventures and misadventures of Viking underdog Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III and his dragon, Toothless. In Book 9, a dragon rebellion is coming--filled with the meanest, nastiest dragons in the Archipelago. Razor-wings, Tonguetwisters, and Vampire Ghouldeaths are attacking Vikings and seem to be seeking one soul in particular: Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third! Only a King can save them...and only a champion with all of the King's Lost Things can be King. In his adventures, Hiccup has collected quite a few "things" himself. But can a scrawny Viking save the entire Archipelago from certain doom? To find out, Hiccup will have to outwit a witch, fight his arch-enemy, and beat back an army of bloodthirsty dragons with just one sword.
 
These books really are so cute.  They are easy to read, fun stories and my oldest daughter Lindsay just loves them.  I enjoy reading them out loud to hear and hearing her giggle or laugh out loud during the story.  Even my five year-old started listening to this one and giggled along with it.  Hiccup really is an edearing character and it's been fun following his "misadventures".
 
If you have young children, I really encourage you to read these books with them.  It is so much fun!
