Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

When Ron runs away, he ends up in Bordertown, a grim city that lies between the real world and the world of faerie, a place where elf and human gangs stalk the streets side by side, and where magic works better than technology. If the city doesn't kill him, it just may teach him what it is to be human.

Synopsis:

Shetterly combines the commonplace and the fantastical to create a "fascinating mix of cultures, peoples, and magics . . . highly entertaining adventure" ( Locus). Ron, a human runaway seraching for his brother, joins the denizens of Castle Pup, lands a job at Elsewhere--the strangest bookstore in two worlds--and becomes involved in magical intrigues bigger than he ever imagined.

Synopsis:

The ahead-of-its-time punk fantasy in which magic meets the mean streets.

Synopsis:

Now available in paperback--a YA fantasy in which Ron, a teenage runaway, comes of age among the punk elves and humans of Bordertown, a run-down city on the border between the real world and the magic world of Faerie.
