The Underneath
One kitten's one moment of curiosity sets off a chain of events that is astonishing, remarkable, and enormous in its meaning. In this National Book Award finalist, Kathi Appelt spins a harrowing yet keenly sweet tale about the power of love—and its opposite, hate—the fragility of happiness and the importance of making good on your promises.
