How to Be a Pirate (How to Train Your Dragon #2) by Cressida Cowell 4/5 stars

Hey, guys! Ever since I read the first book in this series, How to Train Your Dragon, I have had a copy of How To Be a Pirate in my room waiting to be read. That was two or three years ago. Last night, I finally decided to get it out of my to-read pile, and it was pretty good, for a book marketed to elementary school kids.

The Covers:
 

The Covers:
They shows the process of the viking tribe of Berk trying to learn how to be pirates in order to find a great lost treasure. B covers.

Official Description:
Follows the further adventures and misadventures of Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III as his Viking training continues and his father leads a stranger and the Hairy Hooligans to the Isle of Skullions in search of a pirate's treasure.

My Review:
How to Be a Pirate way a fun, quick read. It continues the story of How to Train Your Dragon, but could be read as a standalone.
There are some exciting action scenes, lots of humor that would appeal to younger audiences, and likeable characters.
I didn't like it quite as much as I enjoyed the first book, as the plot was less defined. That being said, I'd definitely recommend it for lower school aged kids. It will keep you entertained, for sure!

Phrase:
Left-handed!
