The sole light in the life of Ilmari Elias Laitinen is North-of-Moon, a peculiar world inhabited by a race of anthropomorphic wolves, which he can enter through his wardrobe.
Over here, he struggles under the care of his Conservative Laestadian father; out there, he ventures on fantastic quests with Sampo, his best friend and a wolf-boy of the same age.
