Many of you reading will likely have already passed beneath this neo-gothic bridge, but how many of you have ever looked up at the bottom of it to discover one of Barcelona’s unsolved mysteries? As she lays dying, she is at last reunited by her granddaughter Rainbow Bird, who took the form of a hummingbird.Recently, we did a piece on the Pont del Carrer del Bisbe, one of the most photographed spots in Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter. However, she is hit by a stray bullet from Gar Face. She sees the love between the kittens and the hound, and frees Ranger from where he is chained. When storms release Grandmother, she decides to do something unexpected. The Alligator King is an alligator who was friends with Grandmother Moccasin before her imprisonment, who also happens to be the alligator that Gar Face is trying to lure using Ranger.

Hawk Man then traps Grandmother in a clay jar for what she did, where she stews in her bitterness and anger. When her daughter Night Song changes form to marry Hawk Man, Grandmother feels betrayed and tricks her daughter into changing back into a serpent, since magical creatures who return to their original forms are stuck that way forever. The book also introduces Grandmother Moccasin, who in this story is portrayed as a water moccasin lamia.

She encounters a hummingbird, who are known to accompany the spirits of the dead to the other side. Although Puck is saved, the mother drowns trying to help him. Gar Face throws the two into a bag, which he then throws into the river. While trying to protect Puck, the calico is also caught. One day, Puck accidentally leaves the safety of the porch and is caught by Gar Face. The kittens are told to never leave the underside of the porch, otherwise Gar Face might use them as alligator bait. Ranger meets a calico cat who has kittens, and he names the kittens 'Sabine' and 'Puck'. Ever since his leg was shot accidentally by his evil owner, Gar Face, Ranger has been chained up to serve only as a warning system. The hound dog, Ranger, is chained under the porch. The story takes place underneath a ramshackle house, in the bayou near the Texas-Louisiana border. Published in 2008, The Underneath is a John Newbery Honor book, ALA Notable Children's Book and a National Book Award Finalist. It tells the story of an abandoned cat who goes to live with a maltreated hound dog underneath a crooked old house in a bayou on the border between Louisiana and Texas. The Underneath is a children's book by Kathi Appelt.
