Skeleton Creek: Ryan's Journal by Patrick Carman

This book has a great idea of embedding short videos as part of the story. The story drops titles and authors names like a person trying to impress others by the famous people they know.
For example: Ryan McCray mentions Edgar Allan Poe and Robert Louis Stevenson in his journal. Plus, Sarah Fincher uses The Fall of the House of Usher and other horror titles and character names as passwords to her website.
Ryan is keeping track of his and Sarah's explorations into a mystery surrounding one of the gold dredges in Skeleton Creek, Oregon. The book strings you along, but doesn't quite live up to the expectation of the dropped names in the book.
Here is my YouTube review.

Challenge, look up some of the passwords for Sarah's videos to determine which book or story these characters came from.
