Skeleton Creek

by:Patrick Carman

      This is a nonfiction book. It is all written first person because it is in a journal format. It also includes online video access to add to the story.

      Ryan loved to write. In fact usually when the morning train woke him up in the mornings he would go strait to his desk and start writing before the town started to stir. But one morning, after shaking the idea that something had bean watching him, he had a sudden urge to jump from his bed and just get on the train so it could take him away from the dreadful town he lived in. 

        Sarah is Ryan's best friend. She did not love writing like Ryan but she loved to be behind a camera. And sometimes this got her into trouble. But that's what she loved, trouble and she loved to drag Ryan into the messes she loved to cause.

       Sarah couldn't help but think there was something wrong with the town they were living in, a mystery, something everyone was hiding.

       But there was something that was no mystery, the death of Joe Bush years ago. The tale was like a ghost story that had come to life. 

        Sarah and Ryan decide go on a secret mission to solve the mysteries of the town by visiting the very place the old man died, the dredge. The old, shut down building was closed off to keep people out. But when Ryan and Sarah snuck in, they didn't know they were not alone. 

      Ryan begins to write in his journal after two weeks. He writes," I have kept a lot of journals but this one is especially important for two reasons. Reason number one: I'm not writing this for myself. I'm putting these words down for someone else to find, which is something I never do. Reason number two: I have a strong feeling this will be the last journal I ever write."

      Together they solve clues and fight for their lives.

    Skeleton Creek is a great book that will keep a reader interested and on the edge of their seat.
