How To Train Your Dragon 2
It's highly unlikely that new dragon owners would live long enough to read a How-To manual sequel.
My mistake, the numerical reference in the title refers to an animated movie, not a book for scorched dummies.
Expected to succeed his father Stoick (Gerard Butler) on the Viking throne, Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) holds off on ascending in order to discover new lands on his well-trained dragon, Toothless.
When Hiccup and his girlfriend (America Ferrera) uncover a plot by a dragon hunter (Djimon Hounsou) to overthrow Hiccup's father, the pair must prevent the attack with help from Hiccup's long-lost mother (Cate Blanchett).
Expanding the mythology of the fictional Scandinavia landscape to include an eclectic enemy and larger dragons, this sequel is infinitely superior to its predecessor.
Darker and more daring than the first, the series has matured along with its fan base.
Incidentally, most dragons take up smoking in their teen years.
