1. "...to the ground and moved toward the children between its forearms, which were squat, thick, powerful, and akimbo..." (229)
2. My guess: This is some sort of descriptive word, it's used when the author is describing what the children saw. Maybe this words is naming some sort of body part or stance.
3. Definition: With hand on hip and elbow bent outward. (Dictionary.com)
4. Explanation: The author is describing the stance of the creature the girls are seeing in the forest. Along with his description of how the thing looks and smells, this makes sense. I can imagine the way the thing looks much better now that I know this.
