There’s nothing like a trip to the waterpark to make a young person scream with delight. Yes, you will get wet but also have tons of fun—unless you’re spending the day at Fathoms of Fun Waterpark. Run the other way instead as our three main characters quickly discover.
Alexander and Theo Sinister-Winterbottom are 12-year old twins. Along with their older sister Wil, they’ve been sent off in the middle of the night by their parents to live with Aunt Saffronia, a supposed relative they never knew existed. Child care is not her best trait. The only thing she cares about is making sure they use the week long passes she got for them at the local waterpark. Sounds fun until their visit turns into quite the mystery with people disappearing, terrible food choices, and some pretty wild rides.
Alexander is the cautious, rule following twin who also hates water slides. The more adventurous Theo makes a great pairing as these two try and figure out who is in the watch tower and why this place seems more intent on making sure guests never want to come back. Wil frequently disappears on her own, being more interested in her phone and Edgar, a boy she meets at the park.
The third person narration in WRETCHED WATERPARK is filled with humor and the mystery unfolds in a fast paced fashion. I’m not giving away any spoilers to keep the story fresh in case you decide to give this one a go.. The first tale in this enticing series will be followed by Vampiric Vacation in September. The summer is off to a great start!
FIVE MORE THINGS TO LIKE ABOUT WRETCHED WATERPARK
The sibling relationship. Alexander and Theo are very different but they support each other no matter what.
Although the main plot points were answered there are still enough loose ends to entice readers back for more in Book 2.
I’m always a bit wary when an adult/YA author switches course to take a shot at Middle Grade. Thankfully, the author has hit the mark in this mystery that will surely appeal to 8-12 year olds.
The creepiness factor is not enough to cause nightmares. It will though cause young readers to read more.
Reminded me of Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events which is pretty good company to have in a story.

Welcome to the Ultimate Book of the Future Blog Tour!
Ultimate Book of the Future by Stephanie Warren Drimmer Is the perfect book for fans of sci-fi, budding engineers and scientists, lovers of futuristic movies and pop culture, and anyone who has ever dreamed about what tomorrow might look like. To celebrate its release, 5 blogs across the web are featuring posts from the book as well as 5 chances to win. Ready to sneak a peek at your life in the future? Read on!
THE FUTURE OF SAVING THE WORLD: FIGHTING FIRES WITH SOUND
Every year, more than 100,000 wildfires rage in the United States alone, burning up between four and five million acres (1.6 to 2 million ha). Raging wildfires can move at speeds of up to 14 miles an hour (23 km/h), swallowing up trees, brush, homes, and everything else in their path. Battling these fires is hot, dirty, dangerous work. But what if firefighters could use something as simple as sound to put out the flames?
In 2017, two engineering students named Seth Robertson and Viet Tran invented what might be the fire extinguisher of the future. Traditionally, firefighters either douse fires with water or spray them with chemical retardants to stop the burning. But the new device uses neither. Instead, it emits sound to put out fires. Sound moves in waves that vibrate what they’re passing through. That vibration can be enough to separate the flames from the oxygen they need to burn, putting rigged up an amplifier and a cardboard tube to focus the sound. When they blasted low-frequency tones through their “sonic extinguisher,” flames went out.
Now, Robertson and Tran are working on turning their prototype into a real-life product. They think the technology could be ideal for putting out small fires in the home: a sonic extinguisher could be installed over a stove top to extinguish kitchen fires, fore xample. Someday, drones equipped with sonic extinguishers could fight forest fires without needing to refill water or retardant and without putting human lives in danger. And a sound-based device could be extremely useful in space, where zero gravity makes it impossible to spray a traditional fire extinguisher. Now that’s a sound idea.
FUN FACT: Earth is the only known planet where there is enough oxygen for a fire to burn.
Robot dogs! Jet packs! Cyborgs! Super-sleek space suits! It’s not science fiction, it’s science reality. And soon, it may be part of everyday life. This book is a jam-packed collection of the coolest tech and wildest ideas that are shaping the world of tomorrow.
Blast off for an unbelievably fascinating journey through time, space, and even a holographic pop concert (or two)! With chapters on future cities, space travel, high-tech entertainment, and even saving the world, Future World is a thorough, fun compendium of high-tech gadgets being built today and the coolest stuff tomorrow has to offer, plus the amazing dreamers making it all happen.
Special “Could It Happen?” features tackle kids” burning hypothetical questions, like whether Jurassic Park could really exist, or whether a robot could become president. Each chapter also includes a “Future Fail!” that profiles one thing we thought we’d have by now, but don’t (like everything from The Jetsons.) And kids will see where they might fit into the picture through the “Jobs of Tomorrow” profiled in each chapter. (Job titles include mind reader, space pilot, and robot-human communicator. Seriously!)
Stephanie Warren Drimmer is a science writer based in Los Angeles, California. She writes books and magazine features for kids about everything from the strangest places in space, to the chemistry of cookies, to the mysteries of the human brain. She has a degree in science journalism from New York University…but she thinks she likes writing for kids because she’s secretly still one herself.

While other people may have bad days, Freddie and his family have had bad generations: from bird poop splatting on him during picture day to the many tumbles and trips that earned him the nickname Faceplant Freddie. He’s learned to lay low and keep himself out of trouble—which means no fun, no friends, and definitely no risks.
But when he discovers a family heirloom, a century-old amulet from the Philippines that’s supposed to bring good fortune, Freddie thinks his luck is finally about to change.
He couldn’t be more wrong. Because the spirit of Freddie’s cranky great-granduncle Ramon is trapped in the heirloom, and the evil spirits responsible for his death have returned with a vengeance. Now, Freddie and his cousin, Sharkey, have thirteen days to break the curse, or Freddie will join Ramon for an untimely afterlife in the amulet.
*****************************
A fun magical mystery with a unique story line is bound to capture the interest of readers both young and old. Freddie is the perfect character to handle the first person narration in this tale of a curse gone awry.
The fast pace of the story line is evident in each of the 30 chapters. Social issues, Filipino culture and traditions, self acceptance, and a road trip to Las Vegas are packed into the 256 pages. None of them overwhelm the story and are nicely intertwined to make this a winning title. The typical pressures of middle school are there along with the full blown embarrassment Freddie endures as the curse waits to strike at the worst moments.
Freddie vs the Family Curse will have you rooting for Freddie so that he can begin 7th grade as a normal adolescent. It will be time well spent.
FIVE MORE THINGS TO LIKE ABOUT FREDDIE VS. THE FAMILY CURSE
A little bit of World War II history was included in the story. The relationship of the Philippines and the U.S. during that time is something often forgotten or never heard about.
Even though death would be the outcome if Freddie fails, it never gets to be a depressing ride given the narration in this rich fantasy tale.
So many memorable scenes! Freddie learning how to breakdance, and the visit to a nursing home with cousin Sharkey were my favorites.
Even though life isn’t easy at times, be the best you can be is a lesson sure to resonate with many.
Countdown stories are always well received by the middle grade audience. The stakes are high here (13 days to get rid of a curse or die) provides even more interest.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR

There’s nothing like summer vacation to set the mood soaring for any middle grader. They can’t wait for days of sleeping in, maybe swimming, bike riding, fishing, or getting to see friends and relatives more.
The excitement can lessen and eventually there will be a day or two where the ugly “B” word surfaces: Boredom.

My review schedule for the coming months is packed, but I didn’t want to leave this one without a featured spot. Isaiah Dunn Saves The Day won’t be released until August 2nd, but it will be worth the wait.
This sequel to Isaiah Dunn is my Hero brings back all of the characters from the first story. You can read Saves The Day on it’s own as it is a separate story picking up where the first left off. You will be convinced though to visit that first book after spending time with Isaiah.
Things are looking up for super kid Isaiah Dunn. He and his little sister, Charlie, are getting used to staying with Miz Rita, and Mama’s feeling better. Isaiah’s poetry business with Angel is taking off, and his best friend, Sneaky, always has a new hustle. Plus, Isaiah has his dad’s journals for a story or if he needs advice….
Like maybe now, because starting middle school is hard. Especially when his mentee Kobe won’t stop making trouble. Isaiah knows something is up, but to get to the bottom of Kobe’s secret, he’ll have to rely on every hero he knows–including himself!
Isaiah narrates the story and he’s a great character. He cherishes the journals of writing left by his dad who passed away on Thanksgiving. Life of course has been tough on both him and his mom and little sister, Charlie. They each are dealing with the loss in their own way.
When Isaiah gets invited to be a part of the Rockets Reach Back mentoring program at school he declines at first but his now best friend, Angel, convinces him otherwise (they have gotten over the tension between each other from book one). Many schools in my neck of the woods have this type of program where an older student will mentor a younger one.
Isaiah gets paired with the obnoxious Rome. Isaiah doesn’t understand the reason for the match as they are complete opposites. Isaiah loves to write poetry and even has a side business promoting his skill while Rome interests are totally focused on basketball. Nothing goes right at first and Isaiah gives up.
Through his dad’s writings and helpful advice from his own mentor in Rock—owner of a local barber shop—Isaiah does save the day for himself, family, and maybe even Rome. The first person narration is superbly crafted with every emotion brought forth from middle school and the healing still going on in Isaiah’s family.
A quiet story packing a solid punch of goodness.
FIVE MORE THINGS TO LIKE ABOUT: ISAIAH DUNN SAVES THE DAY by Kelly J. Baptist
The effect of mentoring is brought out in a strong way. It is so important a young person has someone to count on that can just be a listener and a friend. Isaiah, rock the Barber, Rome, little sister Charlie, and Mom would certainly agree.
Heartwarming isn’t a strong enough word to summarize what happens in this thoughtful plot.
The first Thanksgiving without dad turns into a special moment for all. There’s no turkey or dressing but a huge pile of understanding and love.
My expectations were high for this sequel and each one was met in wonderful fashion.
Grief is handled so well in this story as time and support begin to mend the future for a better path for the Dunn family.

I received an ARC in preparing for my honest review. Comments are welcome below.
A powerful and helpful guide for ages 10 and up. Eight chapters take readers through different situations as they interact with others. Here’s the lineup:
HOW TO GREET, MEET, AND PART
HOW TO HAVE A CONVERSATION
HOW TO GET ALONG WITH PEOPLE
HOW TO DEAL WITH HARD THINGS
HOW TO BE IN A ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP OR NOT
HOW TO BE SUPPORTIVE
HOW TO BE AN ALLY
HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR COMMUNITY
What makes this manual unique is the take that no two kids are alike. Individuals develop and use their communication skills in different ways. The same goes with the way they learn.
Many kids don’t have a trustworthy adult to talk with or may not be comfortable bringing up these topics. The easy to read book would be a perfect jumping off point for a classroom discussion. These skills are ones that will be useful throughout life.
Colorful illustrations support the text and are often humorous. Adult readers will be wishing they had the book available in their tween and teen years.
Catherine Newman is the author of the kids’ how-to books How to Be a Person and What Can I Say?, the memoirs Catastrophic Happiness and Waiting for Birdy, the middle-grade novel One Mixed-Up Night, and the food and parenting blog Ben and Birdy, and she edits the non-profit kids’ cooking magazine ChopChop. She is also the etiquette columnist for Real Simple magazine and a regular contributor to the New York Times, O, The Oprah Magazine, The Boston Globe, and many other publications.
