Description

NOW A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

Are you made fainthearted by death? Does fire unnerve you? Is a villain something that might crop up in future nightmares of yours? Are you thrilled by nefarious plots? Is cold porridge upsetting to you? Vicious threats? Hooks? Uncomfortable clothing?

It is likely that your answers will reveal A Series of Unfortunate Events to be ill-suited for your personal use. A librarian, bookseller, or acquaintance should be able to suggest books more appropriate for your fragile temperament. But to the rarest of readers we say, "Proceed, but cautiously."

• An Unfortunate Beginning: Meet the Baudelaire orphans -- Violet, Klaus, and Sunny -- three clever siblings whose lives take a dreadful turn after a mysterious fire destroys their home and family.

• A Villainous Guardian: Their new caretaker, the scheming Count Olaf, is a terrible actor, a terrible person, and terribly interested in getting his hands on their family fortune.

• Gothic Fiction for Kids: This first book in a beloved children's series is filled with a unique blend of mystery, inventive escapes, and a distinctively witty, melancholic narrator.

• Dark Humor: A story that warns you not to read it, where clever children must outwit incompetent adults at every turn in a world that is, frankly, not very pleasant.
