"Ryan has begun a new journal. It's a new lease on life, new memories, a new chance to solve the puzzle of Skeleton Creek-or at least, he hopes it is. And there's a new video from Sarah to help him piece it together, to fill in the gaps in his memory. But now they know just how dangerous Skeleton Creek is, and how determined it is to keep its secrets."
"He doesn't remember everything that happened before, but two things he can't forget-the message scrawled on the door leading to the outside: DON'T MAKE ME COME LOOKING FOR YOU, and the list of names on the wall of the secret room of the Dredge....What do they mean? Why is his father's name among them, and how many lies has he told Ryan? Read Ryan's journal. Watch Sarah's videos. Begin to take the puzzle apart. Discover the darkest, most hidden secrets of Skeleton Creek. But be careful—not all of Skeleton Creek's secrets are willing to be revealed." by Joni Richards Bodart, Book Trailer & Author's Website Skeleton Creek: Book 1 Book Talk "Ryan has to keep writing, no matter how much it hurts. He has to explain what happened that night."
Ryan is trying to remember what happened that night. He is secretly writing the full story in a journal. He's forbidden, since the accident, to see his best friend, Sarah. While Ryan is isolated and laboring to write the story in his journal, Sarah continues to investigate the mystery surrounding Skeleton Creek with her video camera. She secretly sends password-protected links to the videos to Ryan through email. "Do I wish we hadn’t gone into the woods? Do I wish Sarah hadn’t shot the video, as if that might have kept everything from happening? Sure. But that didn’t change anything. We kept working to find out the secret of Skeleton Creek’s name. And we ignored all the danger signs. We went too far, we asked too many questions. And we found out things that we’d never wanted to learn." Here is the super-cool part about this series! The reader can view Sarah's videos through a link and password provided in the story. This unique combination of reading and watching aids in drawing readers into the story.
