Description: Ron A.K.A. Wolfboy is back in this sequel to "Elsewhere", and he's out to find Leda, the elf who cursed him, and get her to reverse her spell. However, mysterious things are happening in Bordertown, and there's a hunt on for Florida, a little girl who just happens to be the lost heir to Faerie, and the people after her probably don't have her best interests at heart. It's up to Wolfboy and his friends to protect her, but in the end, she may be beyond anyone's help. Wolfboy meets up with Leda again, and she leads him on a wild ride into the magical forests of Nevernever, where many things will be revealed, including the ultimate fate of Florida and the cure for Ron's curse.
Review: I loved "Elsewhere", and this book is a semi-satisfying sequel to it. Bordertown is as interesting as ever, and the addition of more Elflands culture was welcome. I still loved Florida, and Ron wasn't quite so much of an idiot. However, the whole end part of the book, from the time Florida goes missing on, was very unsatisfying to me. The relationship between Florida and Leda fit in with the plot, but I didn't like it because while Florida is my favorite character, Leda is a bitch. I did like how the curse turned out, however. That part of the ending was unexpected and perfect in that it wasn't perfect. "Nevernever" is a nice sequel for fans of "Elsewhere", but shouldn't be read as a stand-alone.
