Description
A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Carnivorous Carnival by Lemony Snicket (a.k.a. Daniel Handler) is the ninth book in the darkly funny and cleverly written series about the tragic and mysterious lives of the Baudelaire orphans. In this installment, the tone grows darker, the secrets more tangled, and the danger more bizarre.
DESCRIPTION:
The Baudelaire children—Violet, Klaus, and Sunny—are on the run. After escaping yet another terrible encounter with the villainous Count Olaf, they find themselves hiding in a very unexpected place: the trunk of Olaf’s car. This takes them to one of the strangest locations yet—a crumbling, creepy traveling carnival.
To stay hidden, the Baudelaires must disguise themselves as freaks in the carnival’s House of Freaks. But even among fortune-tellers, sword-swallowers, and lions, danger follows them. Count Olaf has a new plan—and this one involves a deadly pit of lions and a terrifying performance no one may walk away from.
As the orphans struggle to stay safe and uncover the truth about the secret organization V.F.D., they face impossible choices, moral dilemmas, and the growing fear that their story may not have a happy ending.
