Sadly, Lemony Snicket continues to research the increasingly distressing plight of the unfortunate Baudelaire orphans, and offers up another awful episode of their terrible lives. In this seventh book in A Series of Unfortunate Events, the unlucky siblings are residents of an unnerving village, where they encounter a flock of crows, a strict council, a prison break, a censored library, a harpoon gun, and a hot-air balloon.

The wretched adventures of the charming Baudelaires are an exquisitely dark comedy, both literary and irreverent, hilarious and deftly crafted. The multi-talented Lemony Snicket spins yet another uproariously unhappy tale about three captivating and resilient orphans facing yet another bout of outrageous misfortune.
