8. The Legend of the Windigo by Gayle Ross From School Library Journal “In a village in the North Woodlands, people begin to disappear one after another, and the villagers suspect that the Windigo is responsible. This stone monster with hypnotic eyes feeds on those who meet his gaze and is immune to weapons. When a boy tending the fiery rocks in the elder's sacred lodge realizes that heat breaks stone, he asks if fire might work against the Windigo; the wise ones then put his idea into practice. The monster's heart explodes, and as his ashes scatter, they become mosquitoes-the Windigo's revenge.” Susan M.
