Meet the Sinister-Winterbottoms: brave Theo, her timid twin, Alexander, and their older sister, Wil. Theyre stuck for the summer with their Aunt Saffronia, who doesnt know how often children need to eat and cant use a smartphone, and whose feet never quite seem to touch the floor when she glideserwalks.
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.
