A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Bad Beginning
Meet the Baudelaire children: Violet, Klaus, and Sunny who recently became orphans after a devastating fire destroyed their family home. Sent to live with their guardian Count Olaf, an odd personality they have never met who attempts, in a number of times and ways, to steal their inheritance . . .
Featuring clever quips and witty jokes The Bad Beginning is the first novel in 'A Series of Unfortunate Events' by Lemony Snicket and has been adapted into both a Hollywood movie and a Netflix sensation.
"While it's true that the events that unfold in Lemony Snicket's novels are bleak, and things never turn out as you'd hope, these delightful, funny, linguistically playful books are reminiscent of Roald Dahl and Charles Dickens. There is no question that young readers will want to read the continuing unlucky adventures of the Baudelaire children." -- Amazon Reviews
