Skeleton Creek: a Multi-Media Experience


So one of my summer goals is to read a lot. I just finished Skeleton Creek and I can easily see it being a home run with many of my students. This book by Patrick Carman is genius. Carman writes in a diary format but incorporates videos that the reader receives codes to unlock as they read. Its title alone, suggests this book is of the horror genre but Carmen does a nice job of building suspense and unlike most juvenile horror books, (think Goosebumps) this book does not reach resolution. Have no fear, this is only book one in a series!


So follow Ryan and Sara as they unlock the mystery behind the Dredge and Old Joe Bush who seems to be haunting the place. You'll be asking yourself where these kids got so much courage!
