NOW A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
Are you made fainthearted by death? Does fire unnerve you? Is a villain something that might crop up in future nightmares of yours? Are you thrilled by nefarious plots? Is cold porridge upsetting to you? Vicious threats? Hooks? Uncomfortable clothing?
It is likely that your answers will reveal A Series of Unfortunate Events to be ill-suited for your personal use. A librarian, bookseller, or acquaintance should be able to suggest books more appropriate for your fragile temperament. But to the rarest of readers we say, "Proceed, but cautiously."

This is the first book in a series of truly wonderful books by Lemony Snicket. I read it to get ready for the series coming out on Netflix and although I had seen the movie with Jim Carrey, I was pleasantly surprised by the book. The way the author has written it for his young readers is truly magical, explaining the meaning of words and building vocabulary but making it fun and engaging. A great read for kids who enjoy chapter books, and it's also great reading for those of us wondering what's coming up on Netflix.
