| the new student. Wiglaf, the put-upon sensitive son in a family of louts, heads off to school along with his faithful pet pig, Daisy. On the way, he meets a wizard who gives him a magic sword, although he has forgotten the magic words to make it work, and gives Daisy the power of speech (in pig latin). Once at the Academy, Wiglaf discovers that it's not all it's advertised to be, and his first chance to slay a dragon comes all too soon. This lightweight, amusing adventure rattles right along, without pretensions and with, given the series title, a resolution that cleverly avoids violence--Wiglaf slays the dragon with bad jokes.

Mais une affiche placardée sur l'arbre à messages du village va changer sa vie il va entrer à l'École des Massacreurs de Dragons ! Le problème, c'est que Wiglaf ne supporte pas d'écraser une araignée...
