A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

There is a deep humanity to the novel's resolution, which understands that endings are not really endings at all, and that life contains a mixture of the good, the evil and the just plain ordinary. The best children's books make the world magical. As every child looks for Narnia in the back of a wardrobe, so I hope that, for years to come, children will see dragons all around them. How to fight a dragon's fury is a resounding finale, full of fire and smoke, love, honour and old fashioned thrills. It's a triumph. (Philip Womack The Daily Telegraph 2015-08-29)

Very funny (Evening Echo (Cork) 2015-08-14)

Praise for the series: Cressida Cowell's How to Train Your Dragon books fill every spread with scales and fangs and typographical jeux d'esprit (The Independent 2015-09-10)

I am really sad this series has ended because it's my absolute favourite series. I have enjoyed all of Hiccup's adventures and really wish dragons were real; I would love to go into my garden and discover a Riproarer or maybe a triple-headed Deadly Shadow (The Guardian 2015-10-07)

Brilliantly written (Woman's Way 2015-10-13)

An epic finale (Noah Sanders, aged 10 Northern Scot Midweek Extra 2015-09-16)

There are some really touching moments alongside rip roaring adventure...I am going to really miss Hiccup's dragon Toothless (South Wales Evening Post 2015-09-12)

Cowell's How to Train Your Dragon books stand out not only for their humour, excitement, and startlingly vivid descriptive language, but also, more surprisingly, for their profound meditations on complex political, historical, emotional and moral themes. They incite children to reason and to question, and inspire their imagination and inquisitiveness. (Philosophy Now Magazine)

Cowell still writes these with pep and inventiveness (The Daily Telegraph 2015-11-21)

If your child's already a fan they'll devour this in a few hours; if not, cancel all Christmas plans and prepare for some mammoth reading sessions (The School Run)

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Dragons vs Humans: is this the end? Find out in the twelfth book in the How to Train Your Dragon series.

It is the Doomsday of Yule. At the end of this day, either the humans or the dragons will face extinction. Alvin the Treacherous is about to be crowned the King of the Wilderwest on the island of Tomorrow. His reign of terror will begin with the destruction of dragons everywhere.

The fate of the dragon world lies in the hands of one young boy as he stands on the nearby isle of Hero's End with nothing to show, but everything to fight for. Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third's Quest is clear. First he must defeat the Dragon Guardians of Tomorrow and prove that he is in fact the rightful king, even though Hiccup has none of the King's Things and Alvin the Treacherous has all ten of them.

And then he faces his final battle: Hiccup must fight the Dragon Furious and end the Rebellion ... ALONE.
As Doomsday draws to an end can Hiccup be the Hero of the hour? Will the dragons survive?

How to Train Your Dragon is now a major DreamWorks franchise. How to Train Your Dragon 3 is scheduled for 2017 starring Cate Blanchett and Jonah Hill and the TV series, Defenders of Berk, can be seen on CBBC and Netflix.
