Another fantastic, yet dark, story from Lemony Snicket regarding the Baudelaire orphans.

After leaving the mill, Violet, Klaus and Sunny are sent to a boarding school until they can be taken to their next guardian. A pitiful shack with snapping crabs and dripping fungus with terrible students and boring classes along with a familiar face causing more trouble.

Again I enjoyed this story just like all the others. I liked that the main characters finally found friends even if things still go horribly wrong. I also like how there is now a bit more mystery behind Olaf that I cannot wait to see it unveiled.
