Synopsis: Follow the Sinister-Winterbottoms on their most outrageous adventure yet, when they find themselves at a normal summer camp!
After leaving the Sanguine Spa in pursuit of Edgaren't, the kids find themselves at a mysterious summer camp, Camp Creek. There are lake games and happy counselors, and there's even a tie-dye cabin. It's all very . . . normal.
But if Theo and Alexander know one thing, it's that normal doesn't always mean good. When everyone around her starts acting strange, Theo wonders if maybe the fumes from the tie-dye cabin are seeping into their brains, and she resolves to investigate what's really going on at Camp Creek.
The Sinister-Winterbottoms had been to the strangest water park ever, where the cabanas were mausoleums, the slides were gargoyle tongues, and the wave pool was a cave that triggered existential terror. They had visited the Sanguine Spa, with its tunnels and caves and downright vampiric residents—both the bats and, possibly, Lucy herself—and the woods that felt like they would eat the children if they could. They had braced themselves for whatever was next, certain that they were ready for any menacing weirdness they would face.
But nothing had prepared them for what they were looking at right now.

The kids' parents are still missing, and they've tracked the very suspicious Edgaren't to a camp in hopes of finding the families' books and hopefully figuring out how to find their parents.
This camp they go to, Camp Creepy, was SO creepy! I mean, it was super normal—everyone was happy all the time, and they talked in exclamation points! And that is exactly what made it creepy. Lol. Their enthusiasm was exhausting... and horrifying. Lol. It was honestly very Stepford Wives.
But I liked it! Lol. The overall mystery of the disappearing parents is very intriguing. Plus, the setting of each book has been so fun! And I really love how the families are named after big literary horror icons. Kiersten White knows how to speak my language. Lol.
One thing I liked about this book in particular is the main message it sends kids: it's okay to be yourself, no matter what weird hobby you may have... like lassoing 😂 I just loved how supportive the siblings are of one another despite everything that's happened. Loving each other just the way they are and just validating their feelings... It was so good!
This was just a lot of fun! I really love Kiersten White's writing, especially in her middle grade novels. I love the mix of humor with creepiness, and the added mystery of the missing parents is so intriguing. I am itching to find out what happened to them!
