A Series of Unfortunate Events #3: The Wide Window

Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire are kindhearted and quick-witted orphans whose lives are filled with bad luck and misery. In this tale of dark humor and woe, the three siblings must use their unique talents—Violet's invention skills, Klaus's research abilities, and Sunny's biting—to survive in a house perched on a cliff while under the care of a guardian afraid of nearly everything. Count Olaf returns as the villain, this time disguised as the charming, peg-legged Captain Sham, and successfully deceives their new guardian, Aunt Josephine. When Josephine vanishes and leaves behind a note filled with grammatical errors, Klaus must decode a secret message hidden within it to uncover the truth. The story involves a hurricane, deadly leeches, cold cucumber soup, a doll named Pretty Penny, and a desperate race across Lake Lachrymose. The siblings must work together to expose a terrible crime before it is too late.
