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 glides-er-walks.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.

The mystery, that is. NOT the wave pool. Definitely NOT the wave pool. But are Theo and Alexander out of their depth?
