"A mysterious and magical story; poetic yet loaded with suspense."
-- Louis Sachar, Newbery Medal-winning author of Holes
"The Underneath is as enchanting as a hummingbird, as magical as
the clouds." -- Cynthia Kadohata, Newbery Medal-winning author of
Kira-Kira
"Rarely do I come across a book that makes me catch my breath, that
reminds me why I wanted to be a writer -- to make of life something
beautiful, something enduring. The Underneath is a book of ancient
themes -- love and loss and betrayal and redemption -- woven
together in language both timeless and spellbinding. A classic." --
Alison McGhee, author of the New York Times bestselling Someday
"Kathi Appelt's novel, The Underneath, reads like a ballad sung."
-- Ashley Bryan, Hans Christian Anderson Award Nominee and
Three-Time Coretta Scott King Award Medalist
