What Bad Luck!

Hey, everybody!
Imagine if you had the worst luck in the world. Nothing good would ever happen. Luckily, the Baundelaires from A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket are definitely lucky. Who wouldn't mind a mansion, wonderful parents and a future full of promise in store? Everybody would say the Baundelaire children are lucky.
Or...are they?
When the Baundelaire children find out that their parents have died in a sudden, mysterious fire, they're mortified. They're sent to live with a relative, Count Olaf, who says he'll treat them properly. But when three children have one tiny bed, a box for a closet, and when they have to cook for Olaf's theater troop- the man with the hook hand, the person who looks neither like a she or he and even more horrible people!
Suddenly, the youngest Baundelaire, Sunny, disappears, and Count Olaf threatens  Violet, the inventor and Klaus, the researcher, that he won't give her back until they give up their fortune...
Thrown into a world of mystery, V.F.D, guardians and horror, what measures will Violet, Klaus and Sunny take to escape from the wicked- and not to mention filthy- Count Olaf?
Will they ever solve the mystery of the sudden fire that took away their parents' lives?
Can they ever get away from Count Olaf?
There are 13 books in this series including The Bad Beginning and The Reptile Room.
Lemony Snicket is the pen name of an American author Daniel Handler, who is best known for his Series of Unfortunate Events. He has also written The Basic Eight, Who Could That Be At This Hour?, Lump of Coal and many more.
I recommend this book for ages 9 and above.
This series gets 10 out of 10 stars!
