Hunt Down the Prize

Wow, I really like "Hunt Down the Prize" & "Knee Deep in Thunder" my mom showed them to me, and I didn't like them at first, but now they're my favorite books, you should definitly read them! This book is about on Halloween, Maris and her friend go out trick or treating and get chased by older kids. They jump off a dock along with Maris' cat & dog. Maris and her dog (can't remember his name, noo!!!) remember being here before, just can't place it together until later on. They see people from their old group also.

I read both Hunt Down the Prize and Knee Deep in Thunder when I was in the sixth grade . . . that was 1978. I am now 34 and still love those books and recommend them to everyone who appreciates a wonderful story. I recently completed the Harry Potter series, and any child or adult who loves the magical world of Harry, Hogwarts, and crew, will want both of these titles to become part of their personal collection. The stories are timeless and imaginative and a "must read" for anyone who enjoys good literature

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It incorporated Navajo mythology with an elaborate journey. Maris and Jetty travel to a world where animals can talk. They meet many animal friends, including vultures, beetles, birds, and amphibians. Terrible creatures, called Beasts, are causing a blight, which is killing many creatures. They must join together with many unusual animals to save the Great Land and the Old Ones.
