A review by bookgirl4ever
Kneeknock Rise by Natalie Babbitt

4.0

The village of Instep sits under the mysterious, mist-covered mountain of Kneeknock Rise. Strange moanings come from the mountain and residents have reported mutilated animals. Many charms and superstitions surround protecting homes from the beast. Young Egan travels to Instep for its annual fair. His Uncle Ott has disappeared (taken by the beast?) and his cousin is quick to tell him all the stories about the mountain. Egan is intrigued and dreams about slaying the beast. Will he or will he be taken in his endeavor?
