In their most daring misadventure, the Baudelaire orphans areadopted by very, very rich people, whose penthouse apartment islocated mysteriously close to the place where all their misfortunebegan. Even though their new home in the city is fancy, and thechildren are clever and charming, I′m sorry to say that still, theunlucky orphans will encounter more disaster and woe. In fact, inthis sixth book in A Series of Unfortunate Events, the childrenwill experience a darkened staircase, a red herring, an auction,parsley soda, some friends in a dire situation, a secretpassageway, and pinstripe suits.
