The spooky summer adventures of the Sinister-Winterbottom twins
continue in another gothic mystery: can Theo and Alexander solve the
secret of the Sanguine Spa? The second book in the new Sinister Summer
series by #1 NYT bestselling author Kiersten White, called "perfect
for fans of Lemony Snicket, Edward Gorey, and Roald Dahl," by Shelf
Awareness.
After leaving Fathoms of Fun, the kids are on their way to the next odd
summer destination their aunt has chosen for them. This time, they find
themselves dropped off at the Sanguine Spa in the "little Transylvania
Mountains." There they meet the owners: Mina, her mysterious little
sister, Lucy (who is extremely pale, can't go in the sunlight, and has
an affinity for hanging upside down from the ceiling), and their
intimidating guardian, the Count.
When the Count sends all the children in the spa on a scavenger hunt,
the Sinister-Winterbottoms use the excuse to snoop around and discover
that this spa may be more than just eerie--it might also hold clues to
what happened to their parents. When Wil starts to show vampiric
symptoms, the twins resolve to investigate what's really going on at the
Sanguine Spa.
The second book in the Sinister Summer series continues the adventures
of the Sinister-Winterbottoms and their aunt who never saw a discount
vacation destination she didn't love.
