From the dustjacket-"So goes on e of the rock tunes out of Bordertown, tempting runaways to the city that lies between the real world and the world of Faerie, a place where elf and human gangs stalk the mean streets side by side and where magic works better than technology. Ron is one of those runaways. He is searching for his brother, Tony, and for the family he lost with Tony's defection. Instead, he finds Castle Pup, a run-down building housing a motley collection of elves, half-breeds, and human kids in punk splendor. And he finds an eclectic bookstore-Elsewhere-where the titles are frequently stranger than the clientele. He finds a substitute brother in Mooner, a charismatic half-elf biker with grand schemes and a mean streak. And he falls in love with Mooner's sister, Wiseguy. But it is the magic of Bordertown that almost dooms Ron's search: spells of fire and water that consume Castle Pup and almost consume Ron himself, and the spell the inscrutable and beautiful Leda places on him. The only thing that can save Ron is Ron himself. In this tale of heightened imagination, where rock music meets Faerie, Will Shetterly has created a striking fable of post-modern adolescence that is simply quite unlike any other book you will ever read.
