Skeleton Creek
Synopsis
Reading a book will never be the same. In a new, groundbreaking format, Skeleton creek is broken into two parts — Ryan’s text in the book, and Sarah’s videos on a special website, with links and passwords given throughout the story. Skeleton Creek is a book and a movie at the same time.

Skeleton Creek
After an eerie accident leaves Ryan housebound and forbidden to see Sarah, their investigation takes two tracks: Ryan records everything in his journal, while Sarah uses her videocam in the haunted woods beyond Skeleton Creek.
-
Ghost in the Machine
Clues from Ryan’s journal and Sarah’s videos all point to one thing: someone will do anything to stop them from uncovering the deadly truth. 200 pages, nine videos, and a shocking end to the story that started a revolution in reading.
-
The Crossbones
Ryan and Sarah Have solved one mystery . . . only to find themselves trapped by another. At first it seemed that the crossbones was a secret society limited to Skeleton Creek. But now new facts are being unearthed — with new dangers attached.

DEAR,
PatrickCarman the first time my teacher Mrs.Baxter read Skeleton Creek to me and my class I could tell that my whole class was already hooked after the first 5 pages of the book .After the first video my class and I did not want our teacher to stop reading when she found out that there was a 2nd book (ghost in the machine) my class waited a whole year for it to come out . This year I will be in the 6th grade and I hope to read a 3rd book, and I bet my class will to.Last year my class was so siked about the 2nd book every one was talking about how they would be so siked to have you come down to our school which is Central Magnet Math and Science elementry in Batesville ,Arkansas. But the classes favorite parts were the videos most of them were pretty scary , my friend Madison got so scared she pulled my friend Jesses chair out from him, it was hularous. Anyway your a terrific writer we all hope to read a 3rd book. Your Friend ,Mashae PEACE!

Yes! The Crossbones is the third book. It comes out on September 1st. Plug in with Ryan at http://www.facebook.com/skeletoncreek?ref=ts
I Heard that the 3rd Book is Called The Crossbones, Thats Supposed to Come out in 2010, So Maybe in the Fall i’m Guessing. And the 4th Book is Called The Raven, Which is Supposed to Come out in 2011, So Maybe in Spring I’m Guessing. I Hope thats True!! Tell me if you Have Heard Anything Diffrent.
