Patrick Carman on his mission: Since 2003, I've been writing books for young readers and spending a lot of time on the road, meeting them where they're at. More than 2500 school visits later, I can report from the field that kids still love books, even as a tidal wave of distraction try to keep them from turning pages. Books still shape young minds, and they still provide unparalleled advantages every kid needs. My mission after nearly two decades and thousands of school visits hasn't changed: get every kid excited about reading, because reading helps every kid thrive. When I visit schools I always ask lots of kids the same question: what's keeping you from reading? Let me count the ways! Netflix, YouTube, Fortnite, Minecraft, Snapchat, Roblox, and Instagram top the list. None of these things are bad in and of themselves but taken together, they build a wall around books that can be difficult for a kid to climb. That's why Skeleton Creek goes looking for kids where they are. Through the use of video content and words, Skeleton Creek draws kids in and hooks them on reading. Sometimes we just have to be willing to meet them halfway.
