The Vile Village/Lemony Snicket

A turning point in the series, the Baudelaire children are, by the end, forced to go on the run from the law. Aside from that it's your standard Unfortunate Event. Notable points include: getting a better idea of the full scope of Why Lemony Snicket's Life Sucks, Klaus Turns Thirteen, and Sunny Starts Walking. Also, the whole sweeping social injustice present in the world of the books seems to skyrocket here, what with the worst (and most absurd) municipal statutes, perhaps, ever used to oppress the orphans further. But hey! they saved the Quagmire triplets! 256 pp.
