Book Synopsis

Part text, part video, all spine-tingling mystery. New York Times Best Seller author, Patrick Carman's Skeleton Creek returns to thrill.

Strange things happen in Skeleton Creek - and when they do, Ryan writes them down and Sarah captures them on video. The teenage detectives have solved old mysteries. They've followed clues all over the country and underground. They've investigated secret societies. They've found their answers. Or so they thought. Because there are still some secrets that Ryan and Sarah haven't uncovered yet. And there's still a shadowy figure standing in their path...someone who doesn't want Ryan and Sarah digging up any more of the past.

Review Quotes

"If you've got a kid (ages 8 to maybe 15 or so) who resists reading, then I've got a challenge for you to issue. Hand them Skeleton Creek by Patrick Carman and dare them to not finish it...And for kids who loves to read? My guess is they'll finish each book in a day or two... they're that good..." - Wired

"...story of Ryan McCray and Sarah Fincher's investigation into the supernatural conspiracy surrounding their hometown is one part "X-Files," one part "Blair Witch Project." - The New York Times

"A student kept on gushing about these books and he said that he'd read the series more than once and was shocked that I'd never even heard of the series before. He asked if I wanted to borrow it and he brought the whole series in for me to read. He said I would love them and he told me to be sure to watch the videos. I started reading it and could not put it down and I made sure to watch all of the videos." - Stephanie on Goodreads
