A Fun and Friendly Read
22 Feb 2009
Format:Hardcover
I am a huge fan of Anne McCaffrey and her Harper Hall Trilogy, so I've pretty much avoided all other dragon books--I mean, who could compete with her?
So that's my excuse why I haven't previously read any of R.D. Henham's Dragon books (The Dragon Codices.)
But, I had the opportunity to read The Brass Dragon Codex, and I now feel suitably repentant as to say, this was a darn good book and I will happily read the others and any new books Henham cooks up.
The Brass Dragon Codex tells the story of a lonely and talkative Brass Dragon who befriends a rather egocentric gnome. The unlikely pair turn out to be good for each other though and they both learn a lot from their friendship.
There is a subtle moral to the story: To have good friends, you must first BE a good friend.
My eight year old son snagged this book from me and finished it before I did. He said he loved it, and he's an astute reader. I believed him that it was good--but I have to add my hearty hurrah to his. The Brass Dragon Codex is a truly enjoyable book. It was a fast and friendly read, enjoyable for both me and my son.
If you love dragons as much as I do, love a good story with the thrill of adventure, then you'll love R.D. Henham's Brass Dragon Codex.
Enjoy!

A Thrill For The Adventure Lover In Me
17 Aug 2009
Format:Hardcover
Brass Dragon Codex
In a world where Dragons haunt the sky looking for victims, no one feels safe.
That is until they come face to face with the Brass Dragon.
Hector, a gnome, has invented a device that will be his life's quest. He will change the communication between the gnome and the dwarf kingdoms. But, how will he prove his invention works, if no one will believe in him?
At a time when even his best friend Amber has deserted him, Hector finds a great friend in Tumbleweed, the orphaned dragon who has come to save his life. The only problem is, Brass Dragons love to talk. The dragon has found someone to talk to and he isn't about to let Hector go. Will Hector be able to prove himself? Will the Brass Dragon ever let him go? Will Hector be able to keep his invention away from thieves and men who wish to use his device to do evil?
I really enjoyed Rebecca Shelley as a scribe for R. D. Henham. She has a cleaver use of words and her plot kept me wanting more. This is a cute and quirky tale of the Brass Dragon, although he is small for a dragon, he became a powerful ally for a dwarf on a mission.

Quick and Fun Children's Book
8 Mar 2009
Format:Hardcover
The Brass Dragon Codex by R.D. Henham (assisted dutifully by Rebecca Shelley) is one of those really quick and fun children's books. I read it in record time and really enjoyed the quirky characters--especially Kyani, the very young brass dragon--who calls himself "Tumbleweed." I mean, come on, no dragon tells his true name to a person he just met, especially if said person happens to be a crazy gnome inventor named Hector with some crazy scheme to change the entire world with his "sender-receiver" machine.
There are a lot of really crazy situations in this book, and I can only imagine how funny The Brass Dragon Codex will be to parents reading it out loud to their delighted kids.
Happy reading!
