I have started a new series of books. It is called "A Series of Unfortunate Events" by Lemony Snicket.
Lemony Snicket is a guy, but no one really knows who he is (www.lemonysnicket.com). Anyway, this guy claims that he has been recording every aspect of the lives of the Baudelaire siblings, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny (and no one knows of these people really exist, probably not).
This book is for kids, mainly, but it also great for young adults...or just anyone who loves to read. It's funny and interesting. Mr. Snicket has a way of writing that keeps the readers interested.
So, in book one, the Baudelaire siblings lost their parents in a fire. They had to go live with the relative that lives closest to them, Count Olaf. Now, the Baudelaire's children were rich, but the kids couldn't have their money until Violet was of age. She was 14. So 4 more years to go. Anyway, a lot of bad things happen to them, such as they had to sleep with kids who were loud, and wore ugy clothes...[SPOLERS NEXT]
Count Olaf wanted the kids' money so much. Count Olaf was an actor. So, one day he told the kids that they could be in his play, called the Marvelous Marriage, where Klaus, the middle child and the only boy was to play an audience, and Violet, the eldest girl, was to play the bride.
But the thing was Olaf's intentions were evil. He wanted to marry Violet for real and all of the fortunes her parents left for her and her brother and sister.
In the place they live in, all that was needed for a marriage was the word "I do" from a bride, the bridge's signature on some official paper, and the presence of a judge. Now Olaf happened to have a neighbor who is a judge. But, unlike him, she was nice to the children, and she wasn't aware of his dirty plans.
Olaf hung the Baudelaire's youngest child in a birdcage on top of the tower of his house. If Violet did not marry Olaf, he would order his men to drop the baby from the tower to his death.
Everything went as planned and Olaf allowed the baby to go free....Olaf revealed his plan in front of the whole audience that this was a real marriage and now he was in charge of the Baudelaire's inheritance. Everyone was very angry. Violet said the marriage was false because she was right handed, but she signed the official papers with her left hand. This made Olaf furious. He then ordered his men to drop Sunny the baby from the tower, but it was too late, because Sunny had been brought to Klaus, the middle child.
One of Olaf's men suddenly turned off the lights of the whole theater, and Olaf escaped.
The Baudelaire orphans had to move to another place...
...and their story continues in book 2.
