Kingdom of the Gogs

Kingdom of the Gogs is the first book in a series about a young boy named Brodie, who is on the autism spectrum and feels outcasted and very different. He travels to Wales-the birth country of his mother, Katrin. Brodie's curiosity leads him on a magical journey that forever changes the small boy. He faces many mysterious and challenging tasks with the help from Grub, a grouchy changeling, and Kol, a mischievous Welsh mining goblin.

The three set out to prevent a power-hungry wizard named Dayton from attaining a magical dragon scale that lands in Brodie's possession. The secret of the dragon scale gives Brodie the power to transform, but is it really the scale's magic that enables this valiant child to outmaneuver Dayton and his evil henchmen, or has something awoken deep within him?

Skipping through realms and history and encountering witches, fairies, and other enchanted and frightening characters, Brodie soon discovers that it is not the dragon's magic he must protect from Dayton but his own.
