Blast of the Dragon's Fury (Andy Smithson, #1)
From the After Life, ten-year-old Andy Smithson's relatives initiated a curse 500 years ago. Now they no longer agree it should continue and one is willing to sacrifice Andy's life to end it. Unaware of the disagreement and with no say in the matter, Andy is unexpectedly and magically transported from his home. He finds himself in the Land of Oomaldee, facing mortal danger at every turn as he seeks to find a scale from a rare red dragon, the most ferocious of dragon species, to break the curse and save his life.
