Ghost in the Machine (Skeleton Creek Series #2)

This second book in the Skeleton Creek series is a winner!

I loved the first book in the series and this second book lives up to that reputation. This is an awesome mystery for middle graders. It was fun, scary, and suspenseful. I love how this series incorporates online videos into the story. Very clever and fun. This is a must read by an excellent author!

The skeleton creek series is amazing. You read the books and they give you passwords to watch spine chilling videos. This book is full of suspense and once you start reading you can't put it down. The first day I got it I finished it. Its the best childrens book I have ever read and I would reccomend it to any child in need of a good THRILLER. I just can't explan how good this book is I love it and I BET you will love it too.It would be a hit if it was a movie. So go on read this mystery story and try to put it down.

You have to read this dudes

Ghost in the Machine
The book that I had finished was interesting and exciting mystery. The name of the book is Ghost in the Machine and it is a heck of a ride when you read this book. This book is about a mystery of two kids named Ryan and Sarah it about them finding out the mystery of Skeleton Creek. And were ever they look for a clue it always put the two kids back where they had started. When Ryan and Sarah are trying to uncover the secret of the mystery someone dead or alive is trying to stop. As the stakes get higher, so do the risks. The clues they find the more dangerous it gets for Ryan and Sarah. And the more scare it gets so don' try to get scared because if you get scared the book is working so be careful on what you read in this book because any clue can come up in a blink of an eye and you won't even notice it.


My thoughts on the book it is phenomenal because the book is good, it feels like you are one of the protagonist; in the story. My other thoughts are why couldn't the author give out what was go on in the last video of the story because it left me thinking if they ran from the old ship or did they should on for dear life when I started to read Ryan started to talk about it was a ship filled with gold but I kept thinking what about the ship why did it start to shake what happened so yes it left me think I do not know if the author was trying to do that but I think he or she should of put more details on what happened and I'm still wondering so thats a big an annoying thought I have about the book. Most of the characters in the story acted really weird when Sarah asked a question about the ghost in the ship for example Sarah went to a church and a janitor asked her "can I help you" and thats when she asked him and he started to look all pail and scared and he just ran to the back and came back with a video and he said "see this video and that will answer all your questions and you have to bring this back on a Sunday morning". My thoughts were what does he know and why was he so nervous all of a sudden that made me think was he a part of this.

The time it mostly to place was at night like around at 12.00 am. But Ryan and Sarah always sneaked out so they can go find out the mystery. But there is a catch both of their parents don't know what they both were doing. My thoughts were that didn't they get a strange feeling that they where going to get cough and if they did what where they going to say I think Ryan and Sarah would get in big trouble and both of their parents where going to is that they both were going to go to the school and maybe put a restraining orders on both kids so they would not get near each other. My other thoughts are why do the parents feel that way have they ever meet with each other because to me they sound like they care for each other. And they wouldn't let someone get heart I guess their parents are just mean they just want their child safe. In conclusion Skeleton Creek is scare and fun to read when you are at home with a flash light in the dark. You can get sacred during day time but you can have fun by having an imagination of being in the story and just having the time of your life you just have to have imagination. Thats what makes it fun to read so I highly recommend it. So go out and get this book because there is not turning back.

awesome book ever

the book so far is very great and right now i am on pge 184 i think and it is so great and i'm starting to think that ryan and sarah like each other more than justa friend ........ but it is great .. and i like it when it says awaken you coward fool , when the birdie turns. and i'm scared when it says don't make me come looking for you, the apostale will see you now: and , the apostle is dead so im thinking that maybe the apostle will come after ryan and try to kill him and anyways it's a great book.

Really Good!

I love watching the videos, and it was really good. I like the ending.

1 and 2 are both GREAT

In the second book things start off great, and it's great the whole way thoughout the book, but at the end it seems like it's being rushed and too "fake", concidering the WHOLE book was very well written.
Overall, I suggest you should buy this because it was great! If you like thriller, suspence, mysteries, then you will LOVE this!

Awesome!

In the words of my 10 year old son... It is funny and scary. On the edge of your seat thrilling. Make sure you watch the videos because you can follow the book better. Shhhhh a third book is coming out.

Great Book

This book is very good! It keeps you wondering the whole time. The author is very good and I definetly recommend this to middle graders!

Highly Recommended and BEWARE...

"Ghost in the Machine," by Patrick Carman is the second book in the renowned "Skeleton Creek" series. This series is a unique series, because unlike most books, these books are combined with videos that you watch on the internet, and you also read the story in the form of a journal, making these novels signature works of literature. The videos in this book can be viewed at sarahfincher.com, and they make the story all the more interesting. I should warn you though... These books are scary. The first one in this series, "Skeleton Creek", leaves you totally creeped and wondering what is going to happen next. The good thing about "Ghost in the Machine" is that the mystery is solved at the end so you can finally let out the breath you had been holding since the end of book one. I highly recommend these books, and I also strongly advise you to read these with a friend. I read "Ghost in the Machine" with three friends and it was still spooky! Do not miss out on these thriller novels that will surely captivate you from the first sentence to the last!

Chilling and Attention-Holding!

"Ghost in the Machine," by Patrick Carman is the eagerly-awaited sequel to "Skeleton Creek," the spooky and unique book which showed a whole new world to readers. In this conclusion to Ryan and Sarah's tale, the videos that you watch on sarahfincher.com are even scarier, and the book is even more action-packed than it's entrancing precedent. "Ghost in the Machine" is chillingly creepy, extremely attention-holding, and amazingly created. At the end, the whole plot comes together and every problem is solved, leaving the reader with a satisfied ending, but still a want for more!

Can't Wait!

I can't wait for this one to be released because the first one left me with a cliffhanger. I also have heard that this story is true. I don't know about that but I have seen a picture of the real journal.

THIS BOOK
