With a cast of unforgettable characters, a distinctly literary air, and plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, this is a great match for dark comedy fans. --Brightly Irrepressible, brave and charming. --New York Times Book Review Those who enjoy a little poison in their porridge will find it wicked good fun. --Kirkus Reviews Praise for A Series of Unfortunate Events: Hilarious. Luckily for fans, the woes of the Baudelaires are far from over. --Publishers Weekly (starred review)
