Kurt is also known for his vivid imagination. So no one believes him when he cliams 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 a nightmare. Kurt, Articus and Missy are forced to join up with another unlikely trio - the Wampus 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.
