SUNDOWN AT SPLASHTOWN

A funny, spooky summer adventure at Splashtown, the most unremarkable, mediocre water park to ever exist. But it does one thing right: the annual Fourth of July fireworks spectacular. And this year, twelve-year-old Cassidy Crandle is determined to attend. No ifs, ands, or monsters about it.

OUTBREAK AT CHECK-INN

When Cassidy Crandle finds herself stranded at an aging beachfront hotel with her best friend Grady, a broken-down car is the least of her worries.

​

With entire wings closed for renovations, strange noises echoing through the halls, and rumors of a ghostly pirate ship offshore, Grady is convinced the hotel is haunted. But as the two investigate, they discover something far stranger lurking beneath the building.

SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T APPRECIATE BEING DISTURBED.
