what is the name of this book? about kids meeting people underground?
its a book about these kids that just moved into their home and they find a baseball bat outside and a hole or something and they go down there and there are people or creatures or something. and they make friends with one. i’m pretty sure the one they make friends with needs eyes or something cause she doesn’t have eyes. i think all of the people/creatures underground need some kind of body part. and they have a queen i think. and they have this whole system, almost like a castle underground. its really cool. i’m almost positive the name of the book has the word nasty in it, and the book cover has an eyeball on it i think.
The Beasties by William Sleator
“From School Library Journal
Grade 4-5?Doug and his precocious younger sister move to a deep forest when their botanist father has the opportunity to study a rare fungus. Before they leave, Doug’s friend warns him to stay away from the shadowy woods or the “beasties” will get him. It’s not long before the siblings are lured into an underground passage and meet up with the creatures. At this point, the hairs on readers’ arms will start to rise and the plot takes the bizarre twist so familiar in Sleator’s titles. Doug, presented with several dilemmas, is forced to make uncomfortable decisions without really understanding his choices. Using his trademark techniques, Sleator sets the scene within everyday situations, introduces unusual plot elements with vivid description, develops the story line by leading readers though a labyrinth, and builds to an explosive ending with a message. The Beasties follows this format and includes sibling rivalry, forest conservation, respect for those who are less valued or understood, choices and decisions, friendship, and a healthy dose of the creepy. This is a quick read, with lots of suspense, but its real effectiveness lies in the way it introduces and explores issues of human choice and compassion, and the lingering questions after the reading is complete. The Beasties invites discussion as it delves into issues for which there are no easy answers. Sure to be popular with the author’s many fans and a good choice to introduce his work to others.?”
