I read this book out loud to my fifth grade class. I always have many students who want to be scared and am always asked for scary books. My class immediately quieted down if I brought out SKELETON CREEK. They also couldn't wait for the videos. The only problem is that a few of the kids were scared too much, but I believe that for the average intermediate student this is just too much fun!
When we meet Ryan, he is recovering from an accident in an abandoned dredge in Oregon. As we read his journal we also get video messages from his accomplice, Sarah. The duo have found a mystery in their small town of Skeleton Creek. They are investigating, but now know that many in their town do not want them to snoop, including Ryan's dad.
But be forewarned, the mystery is not solved in SKELETON CREEK, but ends with a cliffhanger so that you will have to read the sequels to find out the rest of the story.
So if you want a good, fun scare, I highly recommend this one - and so does the fifth grade class at Santiago School.
