Wretched Waterpark by Kiersten White
4.0
3.5 Stars...
'Wretched Waterpark' is a creepy adventure into a gothic waterpark where the Sinister-Winterbottom children must find what is missing. This will be a great read for the younger side of the middle-grade set as it's scary without being gory or terrifying, and the mystery was well done.
I'm only giving this 3.5 stars because the ending is a segue into the next book, which will apparently take place in a spa in Transylvania. We never find out where the Sinister-Winterbottom parents are, who the Aunt really is or why the children can never seem to remember going from place to place as well as the inside of their Aunts house. I assume these questions will be answered in future books, but for now, having only this one installment available, I don't like being left with so many unanswered questions.
Overall though, I enjoyed this book, and I think it will do well with 6-12-year-olds who like creepy/scary stories. I look forward to Book 2 in the series.
