The Slippery Slope
The Slippery Slope
From author "Lemony Snicket" comes this warning:
"In order to spare you any further repulsion, it would be best not to mention any of the unpleasant details of this story, particularly a secret message, a toboggan, a deceitful trap, a swarm of snow gnats, a scheming villain, a troupe of organized youngsters, a covered casserole dish, and a surprising survivor of a terrible fire"
Now, if that's not enough to pull you into this tenth book of this popular middlers' series, you're hopelessly lost. Aimed at readers ages 9-12, this ongoing saga follows the comings and goings of the infamous Baudelaire orphans. Violet and Klaus find themselves separated from their younger sibling, Sunny. Their baby sister is headed up the mountain via an opposite route with Count Olaf and his accomplices. Will they find Sunny? Will they discover whether one of their parents is alive? Will they put their heads together and discover once and for all what secrets lie behind the mysterious V.F.D.? It's a mountain adventure, filled with twists and turns and tongue-in-cheek humor from this unusually creative author. Don't miss it!
