NOW A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

Dear Reader,

If you have not read anything about the Baudelaire orphans, then before you read even one more sentence, you should know this: Violet, Klaus, and Sunny are kindhearted and quick-witted, but their lives, in this tale of dark humor and woe, I am sorry to say, are filled with bad luck and misery. All of the stories about these three children are unhappy and wretched, and this one may be the worst of them all.If you haven't got the stomach for a children's mystery that includes a hurricane, a signalling device, hungry leeches, cold cucumber soup, a horrible villain, and a doll named Pretty Penny, then this book will probably fill you with despair.I will continue to record these tragic tales, for that is what I do. You, however, should decide for yourself whether you can possibly endure this miserable story.

With all due respect,

Lemony Snicket

  • A Sinister Villain in Disguise: The nefarious Count Olaf returns, this time disguised as the charming, peg-legged Captain Sham, and their new guardian falls for it hook, line, and sinker.
  • A Coded Message: When Aunt Josephine vanishes, leaving behind a note riddled with grammatical errors, Klaus must uncover a secret message that could lead them to the truth.
  • Thrilling Adventure for Kids: This tale includes a hurricane, deadly leeches, cold cucumber soup, and a desperate race across Lake Lachrymose to expose a terrible crime before it's too late.
