Beschreibung

From The New York Times Best Seller author, Patrick Carman, Skeleton Creek is a fast-paced teen detective series that alternates between book and video. 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 by taking videos. Forbidden to speak with or contact each other anymore, they communicate through text messages, midnight meetings and by watching Sarah's videos posted on her secret website using passwords given throughout the book. 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.

More than 2500 school visits later, I can report from the field that kids still love books, even as a tidal wave of distraction try to keep them from turning pages. Books still shape young minds, and they still provide unparalleled advantages every kid needs. My mission after nearly two decades and thousands of school visits hasn't changed: get every kid excited about reading, because reading helps every kid thrive.When I visit schools I always ask lots of kids the same question: what's keeping you from reading? Let me count the ways! Netflix, YouTube, Fortnite, Minecraft, Snapchat, Roblox, and Instagram top the list. None of these things are bad in and of themselves, but taken together, they build a wall around books that can be difficult for a kid to climb. That's why Skeleton Creek goes looking for kids where they are. Through the use of video content and words, Skeleton Creek draws kids in and hooks them on reading. Sometimes we just have to be willing to meet them halfway.
