A Series of Unfortunate Events

This is a summary of my favourite series of books. It is called A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket.

The Bad Beginning

This is about Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire. It all starts when they hear the miserable news that their parents perished in a fire. From then on they are put in the care of Count Olaf! Their “late uncle” as he says. Lots of terrible things happen to the Baudelaire orphans, such as impossible chores they are forced to do. Sunny gets dangled off a tower in a bird cage and Violet is forced to marry Count Olaf in a role play. But Count Olaf wants to marry her for real just to set his hands on the enormous fortune the Baudelaire parents left behind.

But there is one place where the Baudelaires just forget about the despair they are going through; that is at their next door neighbour’s house. Her name is Justice Strauss, a kind and helpful woman. The author repeatedly tells the reader not to read any more, but that’s just going to make you want to read more!
