Fun fantasy adventure for kids 7 - 12.

When a boy named Sam goes to the animal shelter to adopt a dog he gets a lot more than a common canine. Randolph Coyote the Third and his teddy bear pal, Bobbie Bear, have remarkable abilities that enable them to take Sam through flashes, portals to other realms, on a quest to solve Sam's greatest problem: an imagination that makes everything scary. The worlds they visit are even more amazing than anything Sam could have fantasized. On their funny and exciting journey they encounter a dangerous pirate, a punishing storm, and the world's most powerful and evil sorcerer.
