How to Steal a Dragon's Sword
Cressida Cowell
- Reading
- If your reader enjoys continuing adventures, read this as part of the series and leave time to discuss what they think might happen next; one reader says the ending prompts that speculation.
- Themes
- Cleverness and strength: A reader describes Hiccup as cunning and as relying on his brains rather than his limited strength. This points to resourcefulness as a character feature, but does not establish how the story evaluates it.
- An ending that looks ahead: A reader says the ending makes them wonder what will happen in the next book. The comment suggests an open-ended or forward-looking effect for that reader, but does not establish the ending’s details.
- Worth knowing
- The title signals a dragon’s sword, but the nature and extent of any danger, fighting or injury in the story remain unclear; check in if those details matter to your reader.
