Series of Unfortunate Events: The Slippery Slope

Hook:
  “Who goes there?...the villain standing with his two cohorts near his long, black automobile, staring suspiciously at the masked volunteers(pg.137)…”We’re here for Sunny Baudelaire,” Klaus said, “and we’re not leaving without her.”(pg.138)...we know where the sugar bowl is(pg.139)…The sky above Mount Fraught was swarming with eagles…flying in silent circles high above the two sinister villains(pg.141)…capturing a group of young people who think they’re here to celebrate False Spring(pg.142)…the three children reached up and took off their masks for the greater good…”(pg.145)


Recommendation:
  Do you like reading about some children who encounter all sorts of unfortunate events, but are smart enough to escape them? Read about how Violet, Klaus, and Sunny escape the clutches of the evil Count Olaf who wants the fortune that the Baudelaire parents left to them in this book. When Sunny is captured by Count Olaf and his troupe, Violet and Klaus have to find a way to get Sunny back. This book is the tenth book in the series, and you may want to start from the first book.
