When a Red Dragon attacks Mudd’s village and kidnaps the village seer, Mudd goes on a quest to find a pendant that will summon a Silver Dragon to aid in a rescue mission. Mudd is joined by his sister Hiera, a dwarf named Drakecutter, Iroden, and the warrior Kirak. Red Dragon Codex is more a fun fantasy adventure than a scary story, but with plenty of mystery, battles, and monsters, it is an entertaining read. Red Dragon Codex is the first book in the companion series to A Practical Guide to Drag...more

I picked this book up on a whim when it came to the library. I'm so glad I did! The story reminds me of a junior version of "The Hobbit". Following a band of interesting characters who can carry the story all on their own, you get to travel to interesting places and creative creatures. Following the main character, Mudd, you join them on their quest to find the dragon pendant and defeat the evil red dragon. Meant for preteen/teen readers, this book will appeal to any fantasy style fans. A great...more
The Dragon Codex is quite a story. In the beginning things seem to go a bit fast but you catch on and the book isn't very long. I like how the author describes the nature of dragons and how their differet from one another by their color. I finished the book in a few days but I wish it was longer. I'm thinking it's one of my favorite books I've read and I'll be sure to read the other books of R.D. Henham (Henham funny name don't you think) a great writer.
This book wasn't so much about a dragon as I expected, but it was still alright. Red Dragon Codex was about a boy who wants revenge on the dragon that destroyed his home and killed many people, and sets out for help. If you are a fantasy fan, you would probably enjoy this book.
Sean wanted this book for Christmas so I thought I better read it. You just never know right? Well, it was an okay book. I wasn't completely thrilled with it but I think my ten year old will enjoy it. There is lots of action. So, that's a plus right? Hope he enjoys it.
THIS BOOK IS REALLY GOOD I LOVED IT!!!!! ITS ABOUT A BOY NAMED MUDD WHO TRIES TO FIND A LOCAL "SEER" OF THE VILLAGE. HE NEEDS TO FIND THE SILVER DRAGON'S PENDENT TO SUMMON HER SO SHE CAN KILL THE RED DRAGON WHO HAS CAPTURED THE LOCAL "SEER".........................
Fun little book. The Characters names were a little off. The storie progresses quickly, maybe even a little too quickly. That might be for the younger audience though. Fun to read and held my attention I would read more of the codexs.
I read this book, & loved it. It really sunk a black hole into your heart, but it had a bit of romance, with many fight sense, & a bit of magic. The author did a great gob describing the dragon's. Every thing he put into the book was used. He also did a good gob defining the carters personalities, how they acted how they felt about the other carters, I say a 5 star book, but do not recommend to all.
This was an interesting read. The characters were fascinating and the story imaginative. I look forward to reading the other dragon codex books. If you enjoy reading about dragons I urge you to read this.
Nice book for those who like dragon books. The characters were well developed and complex. Change in the characters is revealed over the course of the book.
This is a story of a boy named mut and a red dragon.Mut has a sister thats good at ranging.This is the first book in the seres and is really good!
As cliche fantasy as you can get, exactly like the Dragonlance series. Very cheesy and predictable. Nothing unique whatsoever.
This book was written by my writer friend, Rebecca Shelley. I just picked this up at her book launch party the other day. Thus far, it's a fun little fantasy. This one was written for young readers, ages 8 to 10. From what I've read so far, they should enjoy the action. Plenty of dragony meanness, plenty of character drama, and, yes, a death toll. It's good to see that there are still moments of tough sledding, even in a story designed for the younger kids.

Same as the Black's dragon codex.
I t is good
J: It was good but they could have added more detail.
This book was an okay book. It started slow, so I didn't get to know the charactors before the important things happened. Most authors like to write action in books. The best books are when the author makes the book have important slwo parts that most people hate. This book failed to have that, but it was good enough that I want to read the next book R. D. Henham wrote.

I thought that this book was interesting. Although the red dragon did not play such a large roll in the story as some other dragons had in other stories, I liked it none the less. I thought it was weird when it turned out that they had a sivak draconian among them. I thought that it was an odd book in the fact that it was so confusing.
a little rustic, but it was good that way. I wish it would have spent more time on the characters, which it needed. It wasn't too long, but I enjoyed it.
I got a signed copy of this book in an exchange with the author, Rebecca Shelley, at Mountain-Con '08. While it is part of a series written collectively under the pen name R.D. Henham, this is a stand alone book for 9 to 12 year old kids.
Wonderful for the young child that enjoys a great dragon story. This is directed to fourth/fifth grade level. The story is fast moving and full of adventure. First part of a series.
This starts off a little slow, but it didn't take long to get caught up in the adventure. It had some good lessons about agency and judging people. The author live in SLC...
I really like the ending. There were some twists I didn't see coming. The only thing about this series is they change charecters after every story.

Max loved this book. I thought it was a little long and the writing a bit verbose but overall the story was engaging especially at the ending.
