The Underneath

311 pp. | Atheneum | May, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4169-5058-5 $16.99
(2) 4-6 Illustrated by David Small. Underneath a ramshackle cabin, an abandoned cat, newborn kittens, and an old bloodhound make a loving family. Counterpointing their present-day story is another reaching back centuries. Appelt spins a lyrical, circling narrative, its characters well realized in Small's excellent full-page drawings. This fine book is distinguished by the originality of the story and the fresh beauty of its author's voice.
