Read the Book. Watch the Videos. Uncover the Mystery. Skeleton Creek is an award-winning series from New York Times Best Seller author Patrick Carman that alternates between videos and book. Sarah and Ryan are in deep trouble... they've discovered a dark secret... something that everyone in their hometown of Skeleton Creek, Oregon, seems to want to keep from them. Why? It just doesn't make sense. The answers are at the old, abandoned dredge. The last time the two went out to the creepy dredge, Ryan ended up unconscious and in a cast at the hospital. Ryan is stuck at home, but Sarah can continue to solve the mystery with her new camera. Forbidden to speak with or contact Sarah anymore, they communicate through Sarah's videos posted on her secret website. Winner of Nevada Young Readers' Award and Pennsylvania Young Reader's Choice Awards. Shortlisted and nominated for New Mexico Land of Enchantment Book Award, Children's Book Council "Book of the Year", Delaware Diamonds Award, and Oregon Battle of the Books Award. Wired Review: " 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..."
