About This Book
Skeleton Creek is the first book in a popular horror mystery series that uniquely combines a traditional chapter book with integrated online videos. The story follows best friends Ryan and Sarah as they investigate the ghost of 'Old Joe Bush' in their former mining town. After Ryan breaks his leg in an accident at the haunted Dredge, his parents forbid him from seeing Sarah. However, their investigation continues covertly through Ryan's journal entries and Sarah's secret, password-protected videos, which readers access online as they read. This format makes for an engaging, fast-paced, and genuinely spooky experience, perfect for readers who enjoy a good mystery with a supernatural twist and an interactive element. It's best suited for late elementary to middle schoolers who are ready for mild scares and a compelling plot.
Something very sinister is happening in Skeleton Creek . . . and Ryan and Sarah are trying to get to the heart of it. But after an eerie accident leaves Ryan housebound and forbidden to see Sarah, their investigation takes two tracks. Creepy and addictive story in a style you've never seen before!
