What would you do if you found yourself trapped in a runaway

內容簡介:
Like bad smells, uninvited weekend guests or very old eggs,
there are some things that ought to be avoided.
Snicket''s saga about the charming, intelligent, and grossly
unlucky Baudelaire orphans continues to alarm its distressed and
suspicious fans the world over. The 10th book in this outrageous
publishing effort features more than the usual dose of distressing
details, such as snow gnats, an organised troupe of youngsters, an
evil villain with a dastardly plan, a secret headquarters and some
dangerous antics you should not try at home. With the weather
turning colder, this is one chilling book you would be better off
without.
