The oldest of the orphans in Violet and she is a great inventor. The middle orphan is named Klaus he is very smart and this helps them through a lot of their troubles. The youngest of them all is named Sunny, she is a baby with some useful teeth that also aide the crew in getting through their many despairing adventures.
These orphans are forever doomed to a life of avoiding being killed by their foes, most of all their Uncle Count Olaf. He is strictly interested in their inheritance and will do anything to obtain it. In this story they are again effected by the looming idea of death. They encountered a darkened staircase, a red herring, some friends in trouble and a liar with a deadly agenda. At one point they are forced to help their friend that are triplets get out of a pickle. They are being sold at auction and smuggled out of the country. These books are an easy read and I believe that they will be an asset to any classroom library.
This is one of the series of books that a lot of kids liked back when I was a kid. I never read them, myself, but I think that since they are so well-loved, they should be a part of every teacher's library.
ReplyDeleteI remember reading some of these books and absolutely loved them. They were fun, easy reads that had a great story line. These books are perfect to help encourage students to read on their own.
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds like a fun and adventurous read for students. I think one of the challenges in education is inspiring children to read and I feel that a book like this or a series of books that keep children’s attention are books that should be in a teacher’s library and this book gets my vote!
ReplyDeleteI personally loved these books when I was in middle school! They are packed with adventure, mystery, and a weird sense of humor. I like that these books teach kids everyone has trials and tribulations to go through, its all about how you over come them. I will defiantly be putting these in my classroom library.
