This is a fantastic book! Suspenseful, scary, and well written, but, it also has another element, a video diary. Let's start from the beginning. The book is written in a diary format by fifteen year old Ryan. His best friend Sarah is a video wizard. She chronicles her life and other subjects with her camera instead of a pen. Sarah sends Ryan videos through out the book. The plot does not require that you watch the videos, but they make the story more interesting and scary.
Ryan is stuck in bed with an injury, but he won't tell us exactly how he got hurt. It has something to do with Sarah and the dredge. The town of Skeleton Creek is not a friendly place. If anyone new comes to town, they do not stay long. Tucked away in the forest is the dredge, it is said to be haunted, just watch the video! Sarah and Ryan are convinced that something fishy is going on at there. They embark on a fact finding mission that doesn't end they way they planned. This book is a must read!
