She published her first book in 1998, the story of Little Bo Peep who has lost her sheep but made her name with the bestselling How to Train Your Dragon series.

How to Train Your Dragon Series

Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III was a truly extraordinary Viking Hero. Warrior chieftain, awesome sword-fighter and amateur naturalist, he was known throughout Vikingdom as ‘the Dragon Whisperer’, on account of his amazing power over these terrifying beasts.

Not loud enough to make himself heard at dinner with his father, Stoick the Vast; not hard enough to beat his chief rival, Snotlout, at Bashyball, the number one school sport, and CERTAINLY not stupid enough to go into a cave full of dragons to find a pet…
