But, I bet my husband would LOVE the mixed genre! I’m really not good with scary movies (even the ones most people don’t think are scary) so I’m not sure I could handle these.

I haven't read this one yet though. My son (11) was a tad freaked out by the video. It's very Blair Witch-ish. I read the first book and you are right about the cliffhanger!

I can see how this would appeal to and encourage the nonreader. Wonderful idea. These books sound good and I love the idea of a video to go along with it.

We couldn't wait for the next installment! But we did, and we are in the middle of Ghost in the Machine right now. With several hours of homework a night, it is slow going for us, but the appeal is still there. This IS the perfect book for the unenthusiastic reader in the 10 to 15 year old range. If nothing else, they want to keep reading so they can watch the videos. I give Carman all kinds of credit for pushing all the right buttons.

She is always racing to play the games that come with a lot of her books nowadays. I think that my little cousin would love the fact that these are interactive.
