"Fans of Snicket's previous outings will devour the latest entry."―School Library Journal

Before the Baudelaires became orphans, before he encountered A Series of Unfortunate Events, even before the invention of Netflix, Lemony Snicket was a boy discovering the mysteries of the world. This is his story.


Young apprentice Lemony Snicket is investigating a case of arson but soon finds himself enveloped in the ever-increasing mystery that haunts the town of Stain'd-by-the-Sea. Who is setting the fires? What secrets are hidden in the Department of Education? Why are so many schoolchildren in danger? Is it all the work of a notorious villain? How could you even ask that? These are all the wrong questions.

Maybe you should be in school?

The mystery continues in Why Is This Night Different from All Other Nights?, which is available now.

Critic reviews

"Linguistic play and literary allusions abound in this smart, slyly humorous noir thriller. Fans will be over the moon, a phrase that here means exceedingly pleased."—Kirkus Reviews

"There's no stopping Snicket!"—Booklist

"Appealingly quirky descriptions and Snicket's compulsive definitions contribute humor, and savvy readers will enjoy puzzling out references to classic works of fiction."—VOYA

I am officially addicted to this series. The light and the dark perfectly intermingle to create an
amazingly good story.
I'm truly invested in the characters and I feel Lemony is the perfect protagonist for our time. He is genuinely flawed in many ways and yet a perfectly conceptualized hero--He is THE man for the job.
He is hope.

Superb
