“Lemony Snicket and Roald Dahl fans rejoice! There’s a new entry in the eerie, slightly bent, odd-ball middle-grade spooky stories. The Sinister Summer series by Kiersten White splashes down with Wretched Waterpark following the adventures of the aptly named Sinister-Winterbottom twins and their teen-aged sister who are dropped off at the worst waterpark on the planet for a week. They must navigate the Fathoms of Fun with its black beach towels, coffin-like boats, and cabanas that look like mausoleums. Why are people disappearing into the dark caverns of the Wave Pool? Who wants to take a boat ride on the River Styx? Keylor Leigh’s delightful narration skillfully captures this clever, ooky, spooky mystery.”
