Who would like this book? People who like to read mysteries, adventurous books about kids, and anyone who likes a good short series.
Why? I loved this book and thought it was better than Skeleton Creek and Ghost in the Machine. The only thing I didn’t like about all three books was the akward and confusing transitions from each book.
This is the third book in the “Skeleton Creek Series” and focuses on Sarah’s trip across the states as she still tries to find information about the town “Skeleton Creek”. Her parents don’t know what she’s acually doing so she had to lie to them, just as Ryan has to lie to his parents about what she’s doing. It involves haunted schools at midnight and digging in cemetaries after dark. If I give any more information I will give away the book and ending to Ghost in the Machine, so I won’t get into detail, but Ryan’s family “Got the money” (You’ll find out how they got it if you read it) and his dad opened up a fishing shop. He hired Ryan and a boy named “Fritz” from his football team. Or more like the cheering squad since they are the two who sit on the bench the whole time. Someway, all these characters have a connection. This book has a suprising ending, and they dicover who “The Raven” is, “Old Joe Bush”, and who the “Apostle” is.
The details: 209 p. 2010 Review by Madisyn B.
