And his is forever befuddled by Melissa Beasley, a twelve-year-old genius who dons weird clothing and argues politically correct issues. Kurt is also known for his vivid imagination. So no one believes him when he claims an encounter with a four-foot-tall cat that walks on its hind legs -- and talks. When Kurt finds an ancient necklace with a highly polished rock attached, he assumes it to be just an Indian artifact. But the rock is more than a mere curiosity -- it holds powerful and dangerous magic. Then Katy is captured by a creature out of nightmare. Kurt, Articus, and Missy are forced to join up with another unlikely trio -- the Wampas Cat, a witch, and a Cherokee Indian -- in an effort to save Katy -- and the rest of the world as well -- from a fate worse than death. Something Evil Lurks in the Woods is based on three Tennessee folk tales and is ideal for every young reader who likes to read an action-packed scary tale.
