This is a very simple and straightforward tale of friendship, what it takes to be a friend, and how to have friends you have to make sure that first of all YOU are a good friend. Our story starts with a young Brass Dragon discovering that his parents have been done in by an evil Blue dragon. The little dragon is lonely and unhappy now that he is living alone and looks high and low for a friend. Meanwhile a little gnome gets himself kicked out of the city for an invention gone wrong - but he has...more
This is not something I would have picked up on my own, however the wonderful folks over at monsterlibrarian.com send me a copy to review, and I have to admit that it was quite an enjoyable read.

It is a clever story, definately written to appeal to a younger audience. The writing was clean, never distracting and the story contained elements that I found charming.
Hector is a gnome whose life quest is to build a communication devise. All gnomes are inventive and have a life quest. I loved this feature of the story. Hector has a friend who happens to be a girl and an gnome, named Amber. Hector also becomes friends with a baby brass dragon, named Tumbleweed. The story is basically about ho...more

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.

I selected this book for my first try at doing the strategy Narrative in One Sitting, for my advanced reading strategies class. We had 50 minutes to read a book about 200 pages in length (this one was 240), I was reading very fast but I really enjoyed the book, for a short read it is pretty good. The characters are well done. This is not a huge epic story, the codexes as I take it are meant to tell small stories from the lives of everyday dragons. I haven't read any of the other codexes, but I h...more
I've read others in this series and to me, this was the weakest one so far. In this volume, we follow the adventures of one very talkative brass dragon and a gnome who has invented the telegraph. When circumstances bring them together, they decide to help the other so they can at least have someone to be around. The story just doesn't follow through to me, although I guess I can see younger readers enjoying the storyline of a baby dragon who is missing his parents. Try the other books in this se...more
Cute story about a very talkative dragon, a couple of nomes, some dwarves and the random human or two. In true adventure style we travel between cities, across a desert, into caves and over streams. Mix in a new and dangerous invention, a big bad dragon, some mean knights and an unusual thief and you have the making of a children's tale that is somewhat predicable but entertaining none the less.
Lots of action. A great book for kids. For me, though, it took several chapters to get into it. I think that's because I didn't feel much of an emotional connection to the readers. But like I said before, it's great for kids. My fantasy-loving daughter loved it. Said it was better than the other "Dragon" books out there.
this story is about a little dragon with a big mouth.Suddenly the dragon finds a little gnome being attacked by deadly leaches.If she had'nt been there the gnome would have died.Read this amasing book to find out about there advetures.
I liked this book. I thought that Hector was a great character. He was a gnome, who lie to invent strange things. After some minor incidents involving lightning and a giant he built, he set out to plant poles across Krynn to a dwarven kingdom. He had two "lightning machines," a.k.a. telephones, and n one beleived that they would work. So he set out to prove them wrong. He did not know, however, that some knights were after him to get it to use as a weapon. Along the way, he met a very talkative...more

It took a while for me to really get into this book because the actual dragon didn't really come into major play until later. It was a great story, though, and gave me a better feel of Brass Dragons. It kind of left me wanting for more dragon though, but it's hard to have enough dragon in it for my liking haha. I loved that they brought in a few of the characters from the Red Dragon Codex, which was the first book I read in this series. I wish they had finished the whole series, instead of leavi...more
Really cute
E
good book
Never start a conversation with a brass dragon—it might never end! Hector the gnome learns this after running into the friendly little dragon Tumbleweed, who has just been orphaned. However this hungry little brass dragon isn't the only thing trailing him.
This is fun adventure with a dragon and a gnome. The dragon wonders into the desert searching for help and there he meets a unlikly companion and the excitement begins. Great story for girls as well as boys.
