Sniket, Lemony. The Wide Window. NY: Harper Collins, 2000. 214 pages. (Adventure Series)
Meet the Baudelaries. They are some of the most unfortunate children in the history of books. They have had so many events thrown at them in so little time: their parents died in a house fire, their house burned down, and they had to live with Mr. Poe. Since they had to be transferred from their Uncle Monty’s house because he died, they had to go live with their Aunt Josephine. They meet a charter owner, Captain Sham, who seems suspicious to the children. When they got back to their new home, they could not stop talking about him. They thought that he was Count Olaf, and they would soon find out. When Aunt Josephine wrote a letter to the children saying that she committed suicide, she left clues saying that she was hiding from Count Olaf.
I felt that the book was very exciting, and very hard to put down when you start to read the first couple of chapters. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to read about unfortunate children.
