PlotEdit

The book begins with Hiccup on the ledge of the only window to the Meathead Public Library which, is not open to the Public on the stroke of 12pm on his 12th birthday. Books are in fact considered dangerous and should be locked up. They were all locked up and guarded by 400 Meathead soldiers, their Driller-Dragons and the Hairy Scary Librarian. He was about to slip in thinking to himself,"What AM I doing? This is my BIRTHDAY, for Thor's sake. I should be sitting at home enjoying myself instead of risking my neck three hundred feet in a Library of Doom. . . . What AM I DOING? HOW DID I GET MYSELF INTO THIS MESS IN THE FIRST PLACE? NOTHING could possibly be worse than this. . . ." He then loses his footing and ends up hanging by one hand on the ledge with 400 arrows pointed at him, and driller dragons flying at him.

Then it goes to the next chapter to show how he got into that tricky situation. He woke up at 7am and made a wish that it would be a peaceful day. He then tried to get Toothless to eat a healthy breakfast and for a dragon, that means eating spinach and wood. Toothless was then supposed to eat driftwood that Hiccup put on the plate. When Toothless wouldn't eat it, Hiccup left him there to eat the wood and spinach. He then went to the finals for a burglary competition, where the Hooligans were thoroughly beaten by the Bog-burglars in every event. He met up with his friends Fishlegs and Camicazi. She had managed to steal several things including Stoick's underwear. When they walk into Hiccup's house, the room is covered in spinach and Stoick's new wooden throne is charred and has been mostly eaten. Toothless is found sitting in the middle of it looking guilty. Stoick then walks into the room and, already in a bad mood on account of the bet he made with Big-Boobied Bertha that the Hooligans were just as good at burglery than them, loses his temper when he sees his throne. Fishlegs almost calms him down when one of the legs on the chair fall over and Camicazi laughs. Stoick then notes that she has a pair of his underwear. Stoick then threatens to banish him if he does any thing like it again. After Stoic leaves, Hiccup sees that Toothless destroyed the book that his father had left to find, thinking it would win him the bet. They had goten transportation to the library by a stealth dragon stollen by Bertha from Madguts the Murderous.
