Finally had a chance to read the first book in the Skeleton Creek series by Patrick Carman. This series for middle school students will appeal to most readers, including reluctant readers. Although one can complete the book without watching the online videos, as a teacher librarian of many years experience, I believe most students these days will enjoy the media component., especially those who have difficulty reading for sustained periods of time. There is enough mystery, creepiness and suspense to capture those who are fans of the horror genre as well. OMG!!! I don't know whether to be excited, amused, or angry. This is a true cliffhanger, mystery, and psychological drama all rolled into one book...or should I say, Book One. As I got closer to the end, I kept expecting a quick resolution, after all, there weren't many pages left. Imagine my surprise when I got to the last page and...I did not catch on that I should be viewing the videos online as I was reading. I wish this had been made more clear earlier in the book, which is the only reason for four stars instead of five...well, that and the fact that I will have to order Book Two since our school library doesn't have Book Two.
What do You think about Psychose (2011)?
This book was not very scary or captivating. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
