If you want to become a dragon whisperer there is a great series of books for you to read.
It may come in handy if the Bear
Lake Monster ever appears.
How to Train Your Dragon, the
Heroic Misadventures of Hiccup the Viking as told to
Caessida Cowell, Little Brown Company. Ages 9 and up
Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third was son of the chief. He
was the hope and heir to the tribe of the Hairy Hoaligions. He first had to
pass the Dragon Initiation Program. If you didn’t pass you would be exiled.
Poor Hiccup caught a rather small, toothless dragon. Soon he gained the title
of “Hiccup the Useless and his dragon, Toothless.” He found that the best way to train his
dragon was to be kind and loving. “We can’t get away with being bigger and more
violent than everybody else anymore. IMAGINATION, that is was they need and
what you’ve got.” (61). He became,
Hiccup the Useful.
If dragons aren’t your thing, how about becoming a Ranger’s
Apprentice? In the book series, Ranger’s
Apprentice you can learn how
to be a spy for the king in medieval times. The first book, The
Ruins of Gorlan, you are introduced to Will a castle ward, dropped off
as a baby he had imagined his father to be a great knight, killed in battle. He
dreamed of becoming a knight but was chosen to be the ranger’s apprentice.
Rangers scared Will with their mysterious ways. They were expert archers who
hid in the shadows. In this action
packed book many battles are fought, enemies become friends and Will finds out
the true hero that his father was. This book is by John Flanagan and is for
ages 11 and up.
