Product Description
For anyone who dreams of dragon riding...
Jace, a high-wire acrobat in a traveling circus, thought he knew the thrill of adventure. But when he meets Belen, a strange girl with no memory of her past, he soon discovers how much more adventure--and danger--awaits him. Not long after Belen joins the circus, a wizard arrives and stops the show--not by magic, but by accusation. Belen is not human, he says: she is a shapeshifting dragon, who destroyed a nearby town. As Jace and Belen set off in a race against time to clear Belen's name and recover her memory, mysterious forces conspire to throw them off track. Can Jace learn to fly through the air with the greatest of ease--on the back of a dragon--before time runs out?
In the next installment of R.D. Henham's series inspired by The New York Times best-seller A Practical Guide to Dragons, a new hero polishes the tarnished reputation of a noble silver dragon.

Silver Dragon Codex
19 Oct 2009
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
My son loves dragons and this book series! I started reading them to become better informed about what my children read and I must admit that, while a bit below the average adult's level, this series of books can be very interesting to follow. A person can pick up any of the books and read them separately. They don't have to start with the first book or else become "lost" like other book series. Sometimes the characters in the books will cross characters from other books in this series. I think that it's a great way of connecting the books without forcing someone to buy every single book in the series in order to "catch up". But if you like dragons, then you will want to read all of these books.

My 9yr old son loves this series! Sometimes he even reads more minutes than he has to just because he enjoys the books. That is a great thing.
Weakest of the Dragon books, but still fun

Silver Dragon Codex
The weakest entry into the YA series Dragon Codices, "The Silver Dragon" follows a small circus. Jace the young high wire acrobat must help Belen, the beautiful dancer find a way to acquit herself of the charges being brought by a white robed mage from Palanthas. Surely the beautiful young girl cannot actually be a silver dragon in disguise... and even if she was she couldn't possibly be an EVIL silver dragon who destroyed a whole town can she?
Jace, Belen and a few others from the circus head off to determine the truth behind the story. Along the way they are confronted by werewolves, a chimera and the truth turns out to be far more complicated then they first thought.
I say this is the weakest entry so far because the other Codices are well thought out and all of the varying story lines are wrapped up neatly by the end. I find this to be important in a YA novel. Silver Dragon leaves many things unexplained, and also suffers from random bouts of weak writing. For example: when introducing a character they state that he only speaks a few words of their language and never uses the word "I" however on the very same page he uses the word "I" three separate times. I also found this book to be a bit darker then the others and for some reason it came across a bit dull. Perhaps it is because the characters are less likeable then the ones in previous novels, or perhaps the plot became overly complicated in a very short stretch of time. Either way, although this was an okay book, it is no where near as good as the Bronze or Green Dragon Codices.
