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.
-
The Raven
Ryan and Sarah 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.

hi patrick carman!!!

creek???????????
PATRICK CARMAN,YOU ARA THE BEST AUTHOR EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Will there be another book after The Crossbones?
YES THERE WILL BE A BOOK #5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No it’s the 4th, I asked about a 5th but no response yet.
Dear Patrick Carman,
I love your skeleton creek series. There so good that I wish there were movies of them. Skeleton creek is one of my favorite series.
Everyone’s asking about the Raven, but what I’m asking is about a 5th. Will there be a 5th Skeleton Creek? If so, is there a title, has it yet a plot? I have an idea, but to some people, it was kinda dumb. In the Saga, we’re looking into the History of the town, and *spolier for all those reading this comment who haven’t read the crossbones* there were really three main crossbones members, the ghost, the raven, and the apostle. In the Raven, I have a feeling that Ryan and Sarah are trying to escape him. But we know some about the Apostle, but what about The Ghost? I mean, we know that Joe had a son and died on the dredge and what not, but what lead to his involvement, what led to the events that proceeded? I dunno what you think, but it’s just an idea.
One of your many readers,
Alex

Patrick Carman can you please go to Houston on your next tour. Please go to Barnes and Noble Champion. Do you remeber me there? You signed my hat. I bet the Raven is going to be the best book.
Mr. Patrick Carman,
My oldest daughter Rhiannon is such a huge fan of your work. My girls were born in Salem, Oregon so it is exciting for them to read books by an author from that area. We currently live in Pennsylvania and Rhiannon keeps having me check to see if you are doing book signings. She has the Land of Elyon and Atherton series in hardcover and would love to meet you to sign one of them in each set. She began reading 39 Clues and is rushing to get to the 5th book in that series (because you are the author of book 5). I am in the process of purchasing the Skeleton Creek series for her for Xmas. If you are scheduled for any public appearances I would appreciate that information.
Thank you for making reading so much more enjoyable for her. She is 10 y.o. in 5th grade but was tested as a high middle school reader, I think she will enjoy Skeleton Creek very much.
Hi Theresa – thank you for checking in and for making reading an important part of your daughter’s life. Well done! With Skeleton Creek, remember that they are a tiny bit scary and they include videos about every 20 pages – lots of fun, but at 10, see how she feels after the first one or two vids – some 10 year olds love them, some find them a little too scary. But it’s a fun series with millions of readers – she’ll find lots of friendly fans! Keep an eye on the calendar for touring dates, and consider having your daughter’s teacher contact us about a free skype event, where I visit classrooms.

Dear Patrick Carman,
Thanks so much for the info about Skeleton Creek and for getting me to try to read Trackers but you should know I have read Trackers good book. I bet there is going to be a 2 one! Am I right? Thanks so much for making my life with books exicting! Finally your the best author ever with videos in your books!
Is there going to be a four book of Skeleton Creek?
Yes, there will be a Skeleton Creek IV. It’s called The Raven. Out in the spring of 2011. While you’re waiting, Trackers is the same format – find out more at http://www.trackersbook.com. Thanks! Patrick Carman
i read the first 2 books and i loved them because i love mystery books. then i looked and i saw the third and i told my mom that i half to get it. the are scary and good at the same time.
Your books of skeleton creek are the best. I want to read the second and the third book.IT’S MY FAVORITE BOOK!!!
I NEED THREE! My parents aren’t letting me get it until I read some of the other books I’ve bought. I think I’m going to sell all of them in a yard sale and use the money to but the Crossbones.
Thanks Julia, made my day : ) PC
When will the Crossbones videos come out on itunes? I have Skeleton Creek 1&2, but 3 isn’t out yet!
I’ve been wondering the same thing!! They probably won’t have the 3-in-1 video format, but hopefully they will be there soon!!
