Product Description:
Everybody loves a carnival! Who can fail to delight in the colourful people, the unworldly spectacle, the fabulous freaks?
A carnival is a place for good family fun – as long as one has a family, that is. For the Baudelaire orphans, their time at the carnival turns out to be yet another episode in a now unbearable series of unfortunate events. In fact, in this appalling ninth instalment in Lemony Snicket's serial, the siblings must confront a terrible lie, a caravan, and Chabo the wolf baby. With millions of readers worldwide, and the Baudelaire's fate turning from unpleasant to unseemly, it is clear that Lemony Snicket has taken nearly all the fun out of children's books.
Ages 10+

Rating:  - Slows down a little here
Wow, the big bright lights of a carnival! Well, why not? The mystery leads the Baudelaire orphans to a carnival where there awaits a mysterious fortune teller that may provide clues. However, during that time we have some rather annoying new characters and a plot that seems mostly filler (save the bits of information we get).
Still, it's a quirky, hilarious read full of the usual charm, so it's worth it.
