Book the Fifth – The Austere Academy (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 5)
Lemony Snicket, Brett Helquist
More doom and gloom for the Baudelaire orphans, and school as well. Dear Customer, If you are looking for a story about cheerful youngsters spending a jolly time at boarding school, look elsewhere. You might expect that Violet, Klaus and Sunny would do very well at school. Don’t. For the Baudelaires, school turns out to be another miserable episode in their unlucky lives. Within the chapters of this dreadful story, the children will face snapping crabs, strict punishments, dripping fungus, comprehensive exams, violin recitals, S.O.R.E and the metric system. It is my solemn duty to stay up all night researching and recording the history of these three hapless youngsters, but you may be more comfortable getting a good night’s sleep. In that case, you should probably choose some other tape. With all due respect, Lemony Snicket

The Baudelaires now end up in a horribly run school, owned by a snotty vice principal with acne. Olaf sneaks in by faking being a gym coach. 10/10 book. You need to read this series, cuz it's amazing!

My favourite character is Isadora Quagmire because she tells the Baudelaire children about VFD (which saved their lives in the last book). I would definitely recommend this book to everybody.

Hmmmm, I like how the triplets got captured. I also think that Count Olaf is a brilliant character (not person!) but he is well written.

I like Klaus and found the book a little bit scary. I also like the way it was adventurous and had mysterious parts .
Doctor Hopscotch Colly-Wobbles 22.07.2023

In this book Violet,Klaus and Sunny are sent to a boarding school called Prufrock Preparatory school.Where they meet the Quagmires and Coach Genghis who actually turns out to be Count Olaf.The person that stuck out for me was Carmelita Spats because of her cruelty and meanness.

I thought that it was very sad that count Olaf got away again and captured the quagmires and I'm excited to find out what VIP means.

I like it how they go to a boarding school and they are called cake sniffers .It is really cool how they become friends with kids who have a fortune as well!

I like this book because there is lots of description/detail, the author describes the characters in a way that you can form a picture in your imagination how they look like and there is lots of dialogue.
Constable Snoopy Volcano 17.12.2022

I enjoyed this book as it's action packed and full of adventure.My favourite characters the Quagmire triplets as they are really kind.My least favourite character is Carmelita Spats as she is mean.

I did not like it as much as the other books in the series but it was really good and I would recommend it to people who have enjoyed the rest of the books in the series! My favourite person was Carmelita because she thinks she is better than everyone else and she isn't!
