In this fourth installment of Lemony Snicket’s Series of Unfortunate Events, the Baudelaire orphans (inventor Violet, reader Klaus, and sharp-toothed baby Sunny) are forced to work at the Lucky Smells Lumbermill, where they’re bossed by a shouting, pot-clanging, surgical mask-wearing foreman -- and endure near-starvation (they’re given casserole for dinner, chewing gum for lunch, and nothing for breakfast). The conditions are back-breaking, and the lumbermill workers are paid not with money, but with coupons (“Buy Two Banjos and Get One Free”). Their spectacularly stingy and uncaring guardian, whose face is always obscured by a cloud of cigar smoke, has a name so unpronounceable that everyone just calls him Sir. There are a few sympathetic grownups around, but none of the adults -- kind or cruel -- are any help protecting them from the evil Count Olaf. The orphans know he’ll show up sooner or later, but he takes a rather long time to do it in this story, and that makes it a particularly suspenseful one. A mystery involving Klaus, trickery and hypnotism finally reveals the Count’s scheme.
Artist Bio: Lemony Snicket is the pseudonym novelist Daniel Handler uses for his series of darkly comic children's books known as A Series of Unfortunate Events.
