Kneeknock Rise is by Natalie Babbitt. Kneeknock Rise is a fable about man's need for belief systems. A young boy visiting another town hears a mysterious cry at the top of a rocky mountain. Despite evidence that the sound is an explainable, natural occurrence, the townsfolk refuse to believe it is anything but the wailing and moaning monster, the Megramum. Even when the sounds are proven to be a natural occurrence the town's residents refuse to believe. Why?
