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. Meet the Sinister-Winterbottoms- brave Theo, her timid twin, Alexander, and their older sister, Wil. They' re stuck for the summer with their Aunt Saffronia, who doesn' t know how often children need to eat and can' t use a smartphone, and whose feet never quite seem to touch the floor when she glides-er-walks. When Aunt Saffronia suggests a week pass to the Fathoms of Fun Waterpark, they hastily agree. But the park is even stranger than Aunt Saffronia. The waterslides look like gray gargoyle tongues. The employees wear creepy black dresses and deliver ominous messages. An impossible figure is at the top of the slide tower, people are disappearing, and suspicious goo is seeping into the wave pool. Something mysterious is happening at Fathoms of Fun, and it' s up to the twins to get to the bottom of it. The mystery, that is. NOT the wave pool. Definitely NOT the wave pool. But are Theo and Alexander out of their depth?
Praise for Wretched Waterpark: A JLG selection! "The creepy gothic setting, the relationships between the siblings, the cast of unusual characters, and the teasers that this episode is just one part of a much larger puzzle will keep readers hooked. Young goths will be all-in for the trippy mysteries. "--Kirkus Reviews "Like a big waterslide that you scream all the way down, only to laugh in relief and get right back on, this book is gothically hilarious and an absolute delight. If I have to die in a waterpark, I want to die in this one. "--Holly Black, #1 NYT-bestselling author of The Folk of the Air series "If you like stories about mostly perfectly nice children in imperfectly spooky situations, you' ll adore Kiersten White' s Wretched Waterpark! It' s both give-you-the-chills-creepy and laugh-in-a-room-by-yourself-funny. Full of heart and bravery and the most wonderful weirdness. "--Lora Senf, author of The Clackity "A timeless and charming romp of mysterious gothic delight for fans of Neil Gaiman, The Mysterious Benedict Society, and Hotel Transylvania. I want to live in this world!"--Delilah S. Dawson, NYT bestselling author the Minecraft Mob Squad series and Mine "Everything I want in a creepy middle grade book: wonderfully odd characters, mystery and humor, a murderous gothic waterpark. Dangerously delightful. "--Jacqueline West, NYT-bestselling author of The Books of Elsewhere and Long Lost
