Sleepy Bear's Book Club - KNEEKNOCK RISE

Hi Book Buddies!

This weekend I sat down with a bunch of books and finally chose one for my next book club. I chose KNEEKNOCK RISE by Natalie Babbitt. It's a fable which means it's a short story with a lesson. And another thing, this book won the Newberry Honor Award in 1971. That means it won second place as a very good book in children's literature. That sounds very important and means the book is extra special.

I'll tell you a little bit about the story. It's about a boy named Egan who tries to find out why a creature raises its voice from a mountain on stormy nights. Egan climbs the mountain to find out.

Already I can't wait to find out what is causing the voices from the mountain. Will Egan find out? Isn't he scared? Well, let's read chapters 1 and 2 this week. Oh, remember to write down your refrigerator words.

Your Book Buddy,

Sleepy Bear
