Kathryn Gailey's THE UNDERNEATH AND OTHER STORIES shows what happens when a suburban kid gets pushed into worlds of the peculiar. These four short stories are full to the brim with confrontation, childlike wonder and a whole lot of hilarious panicking.
Each story in this collection features young and impressionable leading characters trying to figure out life. Start out with "Kassie And the Fairy Ring" and follow Kassie as she tries to complete a magical quest and escape a deadly villain. Then follow seven-year-old Leo as he tries to solve the mystery hidden in a secret package, in "What Lies Underneath". Or you could follow best buds Collin and Lucas as they try to save an art piece to impress and elevate their social statuses in "The Crime of the Century". Next dive right into "You're not like them" and explore the relationship of an aging Aunt and her great nephew.
