The Penultimate Peril

There is nothing to be found in the pages of these books but misery and despair. You still have time to choose something else to read. But if you must know what unpleasantries befall the charming and clever Baudelaire children, read on... The Penultimate Peril. Sadly, this next-to-last chronicle of the lives of the Baudelaire orphans is next-to-first in its supply of unpleasantness. Probably the next-to-last things you would like to read about are a harpoon gun, a rooftop sunbathing salon, two mysterious initials, three unidentified triplets, a notorious villain, and an unsavoury curry. Next-to-last things are the first thing to avoid! About the Author: Lemony Snicket has spent several eras researching the travails of the Baudelaire orphans. During his spare time, he gathers evidence and is considered someone of an expert by leading authorities. He published his first book in 1999 and has not had a good night's sleep since.
