I love the way this story is rolling along. I would have definitely read these when I was young and enjoyed them just as much. I am finding myself  looking forward to the next video clip to see the story unfold and think this is a great way to get kids to read or look forward to hearing a story. 

Fun book. I thought the online videos ran a little long, but they were perfectly cheesy. And kids will learn a lot about alchemy.

Just as fun and entertaining as the first book! Once again horrible acting, maybe even worse than the first book’s videos, but that didn’t take anything away from the story for me.
Great and creative resolution to the mystery and for younger readers I can see the plot twist being huge for them. I will be reading the rest in the series, but the books could’ve ended at this one no problem. I can see how reading these books as a kid/teen could shape someone’s love of horror/thrillers!! 

This series is such a fun immersive experience. It’s like watching a TV show and reading a book at the same time. And it’s so creepy!

loved the plot twist with henry being the old joe bush

Wonderful follow up to the first book!! I love how these books incorporate video and reading, it gives the kids something to read for so that they can get on the website and watch something that sends chills up your spine. Great book, go read it!

Despite me remembering the twist at the end from when I was a kid this book ended up being a delightful read. The suspense in this book felt a lot better than the first one, like it figured out exactly how to play to it. Big bonus that the videos were better this time around too, a couple of them even had me legitimately frightened.

This was a nice conclusion to Skeleton Creek. Fun idea to combine Internet video with a book.
