A Series of Unfortunate Events Collection: Books 7-9

NOW A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES A Warning from the Publisher: Would you rather sprain your ankle, bruise your hip, and lose a toe to frostbite on the same day? Or would you rather have these accidents happen on three different days? This electronic collection of volumes seven through nine in A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket is the e-equivalent of having three ghastly accidents right in a row. Contained here are such unpleasantries as kidnapping, disguise, murder, paperwork, another disguise, heart-shaped balloons, false allegations, stiletto heels, a shattered crystal ball, a cryptic map, an irritating song, and quite a few more disguises, all bundled together into a continuous barrage of horror and dismay. The more sensible approach would be to read The Vile Village, The Hostile Hospital, and The Carnivorous Carnival months or even years apart from one another, so you have time to recuperate from the misery each volume offers—or better yet, to turn your eyes away from Mr. Snicket's work and find an electronic experience that would cause you no distress whatsoever. Should you foolishly choose to continue, you will find these volumes contain such unfortunate elements as: A Town of Incompetent Guardians: In The Vile Village, the Baudelaires are adopted by an entire town obsessed with crows and countless rules, where doing chores for hundreds of people is the least of their problems. The V.F.D. Mystery Deepens: The cryptic initials follow the orphans from a half-finished hospital to a dusty carnival, but each clue only leads to more questions and more danger. Disguises and Deception: From a fashionable police officer to a fortune-teller with a fake accent, Count Olaf’s troupe is everywhere, forcing the Baudelaires to adopt freakish disguises of their own to survive. Dark Humor and Dastardly Plots: From a terrifying cranioectomy in The Hostile Hospital to a pit of hungry lions in The Carnivorous Carnival, the children face peril with only their wits and sibling bond to protect them.
