From Goodreads:
"From New York Times bestselling author Kiersten White comes her middle grade series debut! Part Scooby Doo,
part A Series of Unfortunate Events, and entirely genius! Meet the
Sinister-Winterbottom twins, who solve mysteries at increasingly bizarre
summer vacation destinations in the hopes of being reunited with their
parents—or at the very least finally finding a good churro.
Twelve-year-old
twins Theodora and Alexander and their older sister Wilhelmina
Sinister-Winterbottom don’t know how they ended up with their Aunt
Saffronia for an entire summer. She’s not exactly well equipped to
handle children. The twins are determined to make it a good vacation,
though, so when Aunt Saffronia suggests a waterpark, they hastily agree.
But Fathoms of Fun is not your typical waterpark. Instead of
cabanas, guests rent mausoleums. The waterslides are gray tongues
extending from horrible gargoyle faces. The few people they encounter
are very, very odd. And the owner disappeared under bizarre
circumstances, lost to the Cold, Unknowable Sea—the wave pool.
When
Wil goes missing, rule following, cautious Alexander and competitive,
brave Theo will have to work together to solve the mystery of Fathoms of
Fun. But are they out of their depth?"
I thoroughly enjoyed this odd book! It was very engaging, weird and funny. I will definitely read the next one!
I am super curious about Aunt Saffronia . . . what is her deal?
