The Underneath by Kathi Appelt

5.0

Beautifully written, poetic and magical. My son read this and recommended it. I liked the three stories and how they were woven together, even if I didn't completely follow the one about the snake at times. They all came together at the end. For those who wondered if kids would like it, mine did. Even though the subjects were tough (abuse, death, abandonment) , I think they were dealt with gently for a kid about 10.
