Firstly, this book is made to look like a journal, which I love. The font is one of those handwritten types, also love that.
Secondly, it's about Ryan (the writer) and his friend Sarah (the filmographer). The journal belongs to Ryan, and he says that's how he likes to explain things: by writing stories. Sarah likes to make videos. So guess what?! In the book, when Sarah makes a video, she uploads it to her website. The book gives the website AND the password required for each video. I LOVE IT. A few of the videos are seriously scary. The author did not just hastily film some crap for the book--he put as much thought and production value in these as if he were making a TV show. So the combination of books and movies is awesome.
Spoiler alert!
IT ENDS ON A CLIFFHANGER! OH PATRICK CARMAN HOW I HATE YOU NOW!!
Luckily the next book is already out, I just have to wait for my kid to get it for me at school.
Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention: this is a 5th grade book.
