Dear reader, under the cover of this book, you won't find a single joyful story! For the beloved heroes Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire are once again in for nothing but trouble. The cruel Count Olaf relentlessly follows the children, constantly poisoning their existence. This time, he kidnaps Isadora and Duncan Quagmire, whom the orphans befriended at boarding school. The Baudelaires' lives aren't brightened by their move to new guardians either, as the cunning Count Olaf, having brought his captives with him, is already lying in wait for the children at their new location.
