Hardcover RABCK from meger in New York City, who also sent The Wide Window. Thanks so much! I loved the first and second books, and look forward to reading the rest of series. The Jim Carrey movie is based on the first three books. Read more at LemonySnicket.com.
From Booklist
Grades 4-6
The Beaudelaire orphans enroll as students at Prufrock Academy in the fifth Series of Unfortunate Events book. The Academy, run by nasty, mimicking Vice Principal Nero, is shaped like a large tombstone, and the perpetually unlucky Violet, Klaus, and Sunny must stay in a tin shack with biting crabs, dripping tan fungus, and green walls decorated with tiny green hearts. Series followers will be keeping their eye out for evil Count Olaf in one of his disguises, and the author doesn't disappoint. Snicket once again uses comical word definitions in the text ("the phrase 'impressionable age' here means 'ten and eight years old, respectively'), and just when things seem a little too predictable, Count Olaf sets hings up for book six. Kids not familiar with the previous books will also enjoy this.
