Meet Violet, Klaus, and Sunny. These three children have miserable lives full of unfortunate events.

Now, since their house has burned down, they were going to live with their Uncle Montgomery a very famous and respected herpetologist. He studies snakes and lizards from all across the world. His previous assistant quit, and he has a new assistant, Stephano. When Stephano arrives, Klaus automatically knows it is Count Olaf. What happens next? Read The Reptile Room to find out.
