Under a spell that makes him half wolf, half boy, teenage runaway Ron learns to move easily between the world of punk elves, humans, and half-breeds in Bordertown and the magic world of the Faerie. Although he moves adeptly from world to world, he discovers there is no way to straddle the pain, the horror, and the sweetness of growing up human on the border of the Nevernever.
