Beamer, age 13, is an alien in the world of Middle America, exiled to a bizarre, ancient house on a mysterious street that may or may not exist on any map. He discovers that the familiar, the everyday on Murphy Street is far from ordinary, for everything is on the edge of fantasy, pushing the boundaries of science and imagination, with people and places mysterious, wonderful and often delightfully terrifying.
With the help of a nerdy African-American kid named Ghoulie, a gangly tomboy named Scilla, and a broken down tree house capable of bridging all the boundaries of time and space, Beamer tangles with the indigenous life forms of subterranean caverns, dark forests, strange houses and a spider web the size of a house in what must be the world's most bizarre neighborhood.
