Appelt, K. (2010). The Underneath. New York, NY: Atheneum.
This is a story of a cat, a dog, and a snake. Three different stories brought together buy a kitten. There are ties to abuse, neglect, running away, and hiding out. There are magical things happening. Like the shape shifting snake that lived in a jar for a hundred years. There is a sense of forgiveness and defining the meaning of love whether it is your own kid or not. It started off with a lot of repeating of phrases, which I didn’t like, but I changed my mind. I think the magic is what turned me on the most, and the love.
