Skull Creek Stakeout (2nd ed.)

The good news is, vampires aren't real. The bad news is... you can't believe the news.

Nick Caden is a normal teen with a "supernatural" knack for finding trouble, ghosts, vampires, and all sorts of undead — or so it seems. After solving the ghost story murder at Deadwood Canyon, Nick lands a job as a roving reporter for The Cool Ghoul Gazette, a website on paranormal or supernatural disturbances. When the editor sends Nick to investigate a murder in Transylvania, North Carolina, the young super sleuth finds a corpse with fangs, bite marks and a stake driven through the heart. If Nick proves vampires are real, his job as an investigative journalist is set for life! But once he begins to peel back the clues surrounding the murder Nick finds his new job is not only dangerous but could suck the life out of him.

The Caden Chronicles: award-winning fiction for boys. Readers Are Leaders - Buy a Boy a Book!

If you are a mom of boys in search of books for boys or boy chapter books, grab the Kindle copy of Skull Creek Stakeout to see if it meets with your approval.

The author writes for boys because educators have noted that girls consistently outperform boys in reading skills. Research bears this out. Studies reveal that the literacy gap between male and female students is both longstanding and worldwide. Since the author is male and has two sons, he writes for boys. But girls may also like the Caden Chronicles series.

The Caden Chronicles series contains little or no; sexual dialogue or situations, violence, or strong language.
