Does your family
listen to audiobooks on road trips? What
audiobooks does your family enjoy? Our family’s love for the How to Train Your
Dragon audiobook series continues. We
recently listened to How to Train Your Dragon Book 5: How to Twist a Dragon’s Tail on a family
camping trip in the Upper Peninsula.
David Tennant cannot be equaled as a great audiobook narrator with a
unique voice for each character. The
sounds effects are also fantastic. My
son Daniel loved the song they played between chapters and David Tennant’s
singing in this one. Although depending
on what character he was narrating, the singing was either great or ear
splintering.
Plot Summary from
Amazon: The heat is on for Hiccup!
Someone has stolen the Fires-Stone from Volcano Island, which means the Volcano
has become active and the tremors are hatching the Eggs of Exterminator
Dragons! Can Hiccup return the Fire-Stone to the Volcano, stop it from erupting,
and save the Tribes from being wiped out by the terrible sword-claws of the
Exterminators?
The villain from the
previous books, Alvin the Treacherous makes a surprising return…. Again. The plot was similar to the previous books,
but really, it’s Tennant’s great audiobook narration that I am listening too. Although my 12-year old son Daniel is
starting to feel annoyed by Alvin never dying and returning for each book. It is part of the humor, but he is not amused. My 14-year old son was reminded of his love
for this series and promptly read the rest of the series when we returned home.
How to Train Your Dragon is a good series
for family road trips.
