This book is so fun! I first read it when I was in middle school and wanted to relive it. Thankfully, it lived up to what I remember. The pacing feels a bit odd and the acting in the videos is horrible, but it’s still all just so much fun! The videos, though horribly acted,  give a few good jump scares. The whole premise of reading a “journal” and watching accompanying videos is different and kids , especially kids that are fans of spooky things, would eat this concept up. The cliffhanger was good and leaves you wanting more. Great book for kids, but even adults would find this book entertaining.
