Wretched Waterpark (Sinister Summer, #1)

Where better to spend a week in the summer than at a waterpark? Perhaps that does not apply to the Fathoms of Fun waterpark. Some very strange things are going on there. Three siblings: Wil, Theo, and Alexander find themselves without their parents and with the strange and clueless Aunt Saffronia. Their Aunt drops them off at the park each morning and has encouraged them to find "it." What is she talking about? Why are their so few visitors at the park? Why do employees seem to be disappearing at an alarming rate? Like Scooby Doo, the kids team up to solve the mystery and there are "bad guys" in disguise. As we find in The Series of Unfortunate Events, there is vocabulary fun like: the replacement for Edgar being named Edgararen't, going willingly vs. going won'tingly, and being prepared vs. being postpared. There are some very progressive ideas that are thrown in here and there making me wary of continuing the series. Now I see that the next adventure has vampires in the title. No, thank you.

Thanks, Luv. There is a good amount of fun to be had. It does not compare to A Series of Unfortunate Events though.
