Description
Step right up to one of the darkest and most dangerous stops in the Baudelaire orphans’ journey—The Carnivorous Carnival.
Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire, now fugitives, find themselves at the rundown Caligari Carnival, where people flock to see “freaks” and indulge their curiosity in the bizarre. Disguised and desperate for answers, the Baudelaires must hide in plain sight among the carnival’s performers.
They soon uncover Count Olaf’s latest evil plot, which involves deception, danger, and a terrifying plan involving lions. As always, Olaf is one step ahead, and the stakes are higher than ever—especially when one of the Baudelaires is at risk of becoming part of the show… in a very deadly way.
