The Windigo's Return

When members of an Ojibwe village begin to disappear, the elders believe that a Windigo (a shape-shifting giant) is to blame. But they cannot find a plan for ridding the viallage of this Windigo until a young girl suggests an idea. Not only does her plan work, but the story also provides an explanation for why mosquitos bite. Written by Douglas Wood, with acrylic illustrations by Greg Couch, this story could be the basis for a good campfire story in the summer.
