This book is cute but much of the story is about social behaviors/interactions that are lost on Charlie. I don't think his interest is at all piqued by Hiccup's sense of inadequacy around his father and his rivals. He fell asleep a few nights while I was reading it, and then for a couple of nights he chose different books. I asked him if he wanted to stop reading it and try something else and he said yeah, so, we are.
Very different from the movie, but still a fun and exciting novel about how heroes are made.
