Description
A Series of Unfortunate Events #8: The Hostile Hospital by Lemony Snicket is a gripping and unsettling chapter in the tragic saga of the Baudelaire orphans. With their lives in more danger than ever, this book takes them into the eerie, disorganized world of a hospital where answers may lie—but so do many, many threats.
DESCRIPTION:
After being falsely accused of arson and murder, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire are on the run. They find temporary refuge in a place that should be safe and healing—a hospital. But this is no ordinary hospital. This is the Heimlich Hospital, a chaotic and creepy place full of suspicious volunteers, endless hallways, and a medical library with more mystery than medicine.
While hiding among the hospital staff, the Baudelaires attempt to uncover more secrets about the mysterious V.F.D., a secret organization connected to their parents’ past. But Count Olaf, in one of his most disturbing disguises yet, has followed them—this time as “Dr. Mattathias.” His latest evil plan involves surgery… and the patient may be one of the Baudelaires themselves.
As time runs out, the orphans must rely on their wits, courage, and each other to escape once again—though their choices grow more desperate, and the moral lines they once held dear begin to blur.
