mazziegirl12 - I love this book. Okay so if people were wondering what happens in these books here is a little summary. There are 3 Baudilares. Violet, Klaus, And Sunny. Count Olaf was their first new guardians since their parents died in and unfortuanete fire. And every new guardian they had Count Olaf would find them using a new disguise every time, just to get the fortune that was left behind by theyre parents. Oh yeah and each child has their own knowledge. Sunny the youngest bites any hard objects. Klaus the middle child reads all the time and read everything in their parents library until it turned to ashesso hes very smart and knows almost every definition to every word. And Violet the oldest is an inventor, you would know shes in her inventing mind when her hair was pulled up in a ribbon.

Gr 4-7-This fourth book in the series about the Baudelaire orphans works fine as a stand-alone. The "poor little rich kids" lead lives filled with unhappiness, gothic horror, and melodramatic despair. Here, the protagonists are sent to work in a lumber mill in Paltryville, where they are fed only a stick of gum for lunch and are forced to perform backbreaking labor. Their enemy, Count Olaf, is not far from the scene, and will certainly utilize any disguise to get at the siblings' inheritance. Violet, Klaus, and Baby Sunny are responsible for their own fate and, as usual, they take matters in hand. This is for readers who appreciate this particular type of humor; it exaggerates the sour and makes anyone's real life seem sweet in comparison.-Sharon R. Pearce, Geronimo Public School, OK

Gr. 4^-6. The fourth in Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events opens with the Baudelaire orphans aboard a train bound for Paltryville, where they will meet their new guardian, the owner of the Lucky Smells Lumbermill. Even children who have not read the earlier books will soon learn that the Baudelaire children are heirs to a large fortune, that their evil nemesis Count Olaf plots against them in hopes of stealing their fortune, and that the children must depend upon each other, since the banker who (mis)manages their affairs has placed them in one wretched, disastrous situation after another. Now they find themselves working in the lumbermill (yes, even baby Sunny), and given nothing for breakfast, chewing gum for lunch, and (shudder) casserole for dinner. The story is deliciously mock-Victorian and self-mockingly melodramatic. Helquist's deft pencil drawings and the author's many asides to the reader underscore the droll humor, which many children will relish. Another plum for the orphans' fans.
