A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS SERIES by the mysterious Lemony Snicket has been a tremendous hit with Tweens and younger teens. Great reading fun... if sort of grim.
The story begins
with the three Baudelaire children who find themselves suddenly
orphaned. They find they must depend on each other, and their unique
wits, when it becomes apparent that their guardian is determined to use
any means necessary to get their fortune.
