Summery from Goodreads
I should have asked the question “How could someone who was missing be in two places at once?” Instead, I asked the wrong question — four wrong questions, more or less. This is the account of the second.In the fading town of Stain’d-by-the-Sea, young apprentice Lemony Snicket has a new case to solve when he and his chaperon are hired to find a missing girl. Is the girl a runaway? Or was she kidnapped? Was she seen last at the grocery store? Or could she have stopped at the diner? Is it really any of your business? These are All The Wrong Questions.Line that drew me in:That morning breakfast was a fried egg, which Theodora had served to me on a towel from the bathroom.
Thoughts
Lemony Snickets dry and quirky humor is all through the pages. The odd ball characters and interesting surroundings make this book easy fall into. It’s an easy and quick read that also challenges readers to think, a mark of a good book for this age. The cover defiantly gives you the right vibe going into the story, and the small illustrations at the beginning of chapters also build on the storyline. If you liked series of unfortunate events, I would say this is a great next series to look into. But then, I’ve only read the first chapter.
Keep Reading?
I’ll eventually read it, but after getting through the first chapter, I realized this was the second book in the series. So I’m going to find the first one and start there.
