(2) YA Harper Flute narrates her family's saga, which appears destined for grimness even before Tin, the middle boy, discovers an unnatural penchant for digging and begins tunneling out a subterranean realm beneath his family's shanty. Tin is a primitive who, by living below the surface, achieves an almost mythic power in this odd, unsettling novel set in Depression-era Australia.
