A dog is the link between two boys with entwined destinies in this smartly paced fantasy. Although Ulf's and Jeremy's stories alternate (smoothly and suspensefully) and eventually intersect, Ulf's is the main tale, and, like Jeremy, readers will find themselves drawn right into it. Set in two different worlds, this is a rousing adventure and affecting portraiture of two boys and a dog who must ultimately choose between them.
