In this Newbery Honor Book, young Egan visits his mother's family in a nearby town. The town has always been afraid of a creature called a Megrimum that lives on a nearby mountain. In fact, the town even has an annual fair that draws visitors from all around to hear the Megrimum's roars during the storms. When Egan discovers the truth about the Megrimum, he must wrestle with the importance of belief to the community.
