About this book
The Baudelaire orphans take refuge at a rundown carnival, disguising themselves to search for answers about V.F.D. and their past. Surrounded by curious performers and shady adults, they must rely on quick thinking and teamwork to stay one step ahead of danger. Snicket’s dry humor, clever wordplay, and mounting mystery keep pages turning. Perfect for middle-grade readers who like darkly funny adventures with big vocabulary and twisty secrets.
