'The tiger padded through the night, through the streets, into Joe Maloney's dreams. It moved as if it knew him, as if it knew where to find him. It came into his room. The huge head hung over him. The glittering cruel eyes stared into him. Joe prepared to die. Then someone somewhere called. "Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!" And it was gone.'
Joe Maloney is out of place in this world. His mother wants him to be a man, and he can't be that. His school wants him to stop truanting and he can't do that. His one friend, Stanny Mole, wants to teach him how to kill, and he can't learn that. Joe's mind is always somewhere else: on the weird creatures he sees around him, on the songs and whispers he hears on the air. Everybody laughs at Joe Maloney.
And then a tiger comes for him, and leads him out into the night and nothing in Joe Maloney's world is ever the same again.
