Book Review: Skeleton Creek

Have you ever had a horrible nightmare? Then it actually come true? Well in this book something similar happens to Ryan, a young boy from a small town in the mountains. He and his best friend Sara go exploring in an old miming factory and barely make ot out alive.
I would say that the theme of this book would be give up while you are ahead. Ryan and Sara came in contact with the spirit of a man who died while working at the factory. The spirit told them over and over again to leave and never come back but they didnt listen and almost died because of it. In the end they decided to go back to figure out what happened. you would think after almost dying they would stay away but they obviously didnt learn thier lesson.
The authurs writing style made it very clear and easy to read this bood. The bood was written as if it was someones personal jurnal. It was short and to the point which made the book fairly short only being a little over one hundred pages.
The setting in this book is very simple. A lot of mountains and cold weather. Ryans parents moved to the mountains thinking it would keep him out of trouble but they were wrong. The hilly terain made it hard for Ryan to get around after he broke his leg but he was so curious that he made it work.
Overall i think this was a very good book and would suggest you read it if you like action and thrill-filled books.
