From the moment they buy their passes the kids realize this is no ordinary park. Sure it sounds promising, all the water slides, wave pool, park food and a lazy river, but alas, that's not quite what Fathoms of Fun is all about. She buys them week-long passes and insist they return day after day from open until close. Luckily, Aunt Saffronia offers them a chance to escape the house during the day by taking them to Fathoms of Fun, a nearby waterpark.
Seriously, it's like the woman just stepped off the pages of a gothic novel from another era. Why did their parents leave them with her? Aunt Saffronia isn't exactly schooled in having children around. Truth be told, it's a little uncomfortable. They must stick together and make the best of it. With nary an explanation, or actually even really a remembrance of how this strange turn of events came about, the siblings are left without a choice. The Sinister-Winterbottom twins, Theo and Alexander, along with their older sister Wil and her cell phone Rodrigo, are shocked and abhorred when their parents drop them off at their Aunt Saffronia's house for the entire summer. 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. And the owner disappeared under bizarre circumstances, lost to the Cold, Unknowable Sea-the wave pool. The few people they encounter are very, very odd. The waterslides are gray tongues extending from horrible gargoyle faces.
Instead of cabanas, guests rent mausoleums. The twins are determined to make it a good vacation, though, so when Aunt Saffronia suggests a waterpark, they hastily agree.īut Fathoms of Fun is not your typical waterpark. She’s not exactly well equipped to handle children.
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. 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.
