About this deal

A tiny but ferocious blonde-haired girl, Camicazi is the heir to the Bog-Burglars, and a born troublemaker. She's always up for Hiccup's mad schemes. Camicazi is a highly talented burglar and an extraordinarily skilled swordfighter, and is the youngest person to earn the rank of Bronze Flashmaster. During the events of How to Fight a Dragon's Fury, the Bog-Burglars fight Furious and the rest of the Dragon Rebellion. One of my favourite things about these books is the colourfully inventive language that Cowell comes up with - particularly from Ziggerastica. That made me laugh a lot and makes me think I need to up my own insult game.

Like the rest of the tribe, Hiccup is quite taken in by Alvin's charm, and so they agree to his plan to use the documents found within the coffin to attempt to find the lost treasure of Grimbeard the Ghastly. The quest is of particular importance to Hiccup, as the riddle says that Grimbeard's heir will be the one to find the treasure. However, because the treasure is thought to be on the extremely dangerous Island of the Skullions, the quest does not begin for quite some time. During the interim, Toothless, though failing even the most basic treasure finding exercises, manages to identify Alvin as a Very Bad Man. Hiccup, however, is reluctant to believe that Alvin is an Outcast.Of course, it’s all these tiny characters who use wits, skills, knowledge, cunning, and sheer numbers to overcome foes much larger, scarier, and more experienced. There’s an epilogue about using your brains, dreams, and thoughts to change the world. Like the tiny dragons, many people working together may be able to succeed against a great foe. Family Hiccup and Fishlegs are both small for Viking boys—they don’t have the stereotypical strength and size of their peers. Cami is also small for her age. Toothless is small and not nearly vicious enough. Hiccup rescues a nanodragon who promises him a favor in return, but what could a dragon the size of an insect possibly do?

In How to Seize a Dragon's Jewel, a few other Bog-Burglars besides Bertha and Camicazi are seen as part of Camicazi's Escape Artist Team. The Bog-Burglars also join the Dragonmarkers. Declaring that Bog-Burglars are the world's greatest escape artists, she hatches various breakout plans, all of which fail: She does not directly appear in the film adaptation of How to Train Your Dragon. However, Astrid Hofferson is considered to be Camicazi's film adaptation, as mentioned by Cressida Cowell.

LoveReading4Kids Says

Using Big-Boobied Bertha as a standard, Bog-Burglars are big and brawny, like the Hairy Hooligan Tribe, with the exception of Camicazi (who has yet to grow up). El libro me gustó muchísimo más que el anterior, como que sucedieron cosas que me interesaron más, y me gusta mucho la forma en la que escribe la autora, ya que es directa, graciosa y bastante sarcástica. Así que hasta como adulto se disfruta mucho leyendo éstos libros. Además de que tienen unas ilustraciones toscas e infantiles que le dan un toque perfecto tanto a la edición del libro como a la historia. However small we are, we should always fight for what we believe to be right. And I don't mean fight with the power of our fists or the power of our swords. That has always been the problem with us Vikings. I mean the power of our brains and our thoughts and our dreams.” Sometimes it is only until the Final Chapter until you realize what a quest has REALLY been all about all along.

As the chief's son, he is expected to be heroic, strong, and violent; however, Hiccup's own inclinations, especially early on, are far more scholarly, and he is no good at the vast majority of young Viking pastimes. He is completely incompetent at violent sports like bashy-ball and one of the worst students ever in the pirate training program due to his inability to perform even the most basic tasks in classes like Advanced Rudery and Frightening Foreigners. (Hiccup has a terrible tendency to speak perfect French instead of just yelling.) Instead, Hiccup is a dragon-watcher and scholar, who is fluent in several languages and likes to read despite the unpopularity of these civilized pursuits. Hiccup has no interest in being a great hero, and comments often on his desire to be ordinary and unnoticed; he does, however, have a strong desire to not be a disappointment to his father, and although he has no particular interest in being the chief of the Hairy Hooligans, he is at the same time often depressed by his belief that his father might not find him a suitable heir. What Hiccup does have is an extremely strong sense of responsibility, and many of his most exciting and dangerous adventures result from his doing whatever needs doing to save a friend (or sometimes an enemy!), his tribe, dragons, slaves, or anyone else that needs rescuing. Roundly unpopular with his peers throughout the early books despite no few publicly heroic adventures, Hiccup is very much a social outcast among the young Vikings, which may be one reason for his close relationship with his dragons and his fluency in Dragonese. His only human friends are Fishlegs, a fellow scrawny Hooligan who is also not much good at pirate skills, and Camicazi, the young Bog-Burglar heir.However small we are, we should always fight for what we believe to be right. And I don’t mean fight with the power of our fists or the power of our swords. That has always been the problem with us Vikings. I mean the power of our brains and our thoughts and our dreams. In Book 3, Hiccup carries How to Speak Dragonese with him during the 'Boarding-an-enemy-ship' lesson, aboard the The Hopeful Puffin. Snotlout rams his boat into Hiccup's and sends it whirling off course. Hiccup and Fishlegs find themselves near the Summer Current. In his fear and in the fog, Fishlegs ends up boarding a Roman ship. He is captured and Hiccup saves him. As they are leaving the Roman ship, the Thin Prefect grabs the How to Speak Dragonese notebook and rips it in two. He also captures Toothless. Hiccup is devastated at the loss of his dragon and destruction of his prized notebook.
