Sunday Synopsis

The Slippery Slope by Lemony Snicket
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is the tenth book in A Series of Unfortunate Events. Consider dealing with this... snow gnats, an organized group of young people, a dastardly man with an evil plan, and a secret headquarters. This follows the Baudelaire children in their quest to rid themselves of the maniac who is following them around and trying to steal their fortune. In this installment, they get one step closer, and they learn some information about the two triplets who are also on the run.

Lemony Snicket has a way of including, not traditional definitions of words the reader may not no, but clever descriptions and the consequences of knowing those words. There is just enough "suspended belief" to make it interesting without alienating the reader. The author is clever and continues to add details to the mystery as it goes along. This is a good series, especially for young adult readers and middle schoolers.
