Before he wrote ‘A Series of Unfortunate Events’, before the Baudelaires became orphans, even before the invention of Netflix, Lemony Snicket asked all the wrong questions. Four to be exact. This is the account of the second question.
In the fading town of Stain’d-by-the-Sea, young apprentice Lemony Snicket has a new case to solve when he and his chaperone are hired to find a missing girl. Is the girl a runaway? Or was she kidnapped? Was she seen last at the grocery store? Or could she have stopped at the diner? Is it really any of your business? In the tradition of great storytellers, from Dickens to Dahl, comes an exquisitely dark comedy that is both literary and irreverent. You’ll laugh only if you find humour in gothic and mysterious things involving detectives and crime solving. Lemony’s other literary outings in ‘A Series of Unfortunate Events’ have sold 60 million copies worldwide and been made into a Hollywood film starring Jim Carrey and a Netflix series starring Neil Patrick Harris. These regrettable developments mean that millions of fans have found out about the dreadful plight of the Baudelaire orphans, but you do not have to. You have been warned. Have you read all four mysterious titles in the Wrong Questions series? ‘Who Could That Be at the This Hour?’ ‘When Did You See Her Last?’ ‘Shouldn’t You Be in School?’ ‘Why is This Night Different from All Other Nights?’ Author Lemony Snicket was born before you were and is likely to die before you as well. He was born in a small town where the inhabitants were suspicious and prone to riot. He grew up near the sea and currently lives beneath it. Until recently, he was living somewhere else. He is a broken man, wracked with misery and despair as a result of writing ‘A Series of Unfortunate Events’. He spends his days wandering the countryside weeping and moaning and his evenings eating hastily-prepared meals. Artist Seth has portrayed suspicious circumstances and shady characters in much of his work. He is a multi-award-winning cartoonist, author and artist, whose works include Palookaville and Clyde Fans.Reviews

My favourite character is Theodora because the way Snicket describes her hair is very amusing. “A wild tangle of hair as if several heads were having a wrestling match.” These novels interest me because I like mysteries and the twists and turns of detective stories.

I love the series of these books. I liked this book because of the mystery and that they solved it.

I quite liked this book because it was really interesting and it was about a girl named Cleo Knight who would go to any lengths to help the city that she lives in but not everyone wants to help her Cleo is kidnapped by Hangfire and is forced to finish a secret invisible ink formula. My favourite character in this book would be Snicket because he persevered and got through everything. I would recommend this book to children aged 10 to 11.

This book is based on the mystery of Cleo Knight and her disappearance. There are many stories about where she was and when several people saw her last but are any of them true?

This book was really good because it had a really good main thing that it was about a girl who dispersed and her perants did not miss her? It is Snickets job to find her before hangfire does!
