The Return of Skeleton Man by Joseph Bruchac
4.0
Ok so I actually enjoyed this book more than the first one but I think it's not as well written. At least, I don't think this fits the age group it's aimed at due to it mostly being an inner monologue with a tiny amount of action at the very end.
I enjoyed it because we got to know Molly's parents better and the setting was more interesting (big old hotel on a hill versus suburbia). It kinda felt like a book from a different series if I'm honest.
Still, I enjoyed all the Native American and Latin cultural depictions and explanations. I liked Molly more as a character and the Skeleton Man felt like more of a serial killer from a child's perspective.
