The Carnivorous Carnival

    Caligari Carnival, by Lemony Snicket, is a fabulously vicious 286 page book, full of villainous freaks, and freakish villains. As the 9th book in the Series of Unfortunate Events, it picks up where the last book, Hostile Hospital, left off. The children hop in the trunk of an evil villain, Count Olaf. He unknowingly drives them through the desert with three orphan stowaways in the trunk of his car. When he finally stops, he is at the grounds of a carnival. The children disguise themselves so people won't notice them as the murderous orphans and start to understand how nobody notices that Olaf is Olaf when he is in his disguises. It takes a turn for the worst as soon, Olaf finds out that they truly are the Baudelaire orphans and attempt to throw them into a pit of lions. Read this book if you want to enjoy the thrill of the Baudelaire orphans and their story of a series of unfortunate events.
