Wolf, the protagonist, lives with an alcoholic father whose behaviour is unpredictable and who physically abuses his son, (though I have not gone into great detail on the physical abuse and found other ways to address this delicate topic). As the reader gets to know Wolf, his family, and how he copes with his reality, the reader must determine what is imaginary and what is real. Can animals talk? Are ghosts real? Can someone leave their physical body and travel? Though there are other stories from around the globe and throughout time of people having experiences with ghosts or astral travel, it will be up to the reader to decide what is real and what is not in the unique and magical life of Wolf.
