Description

"Fans of Snicket's previous outings will devour the latest entry."?School Library Journal Before the Baudelaires became orphans, before he encountered A Series of Unfortunate Events, even before the invention of Netflix, Lemony Snicket was a boy discovering the mysteries of the world. This is his story. Young apprentice Lemony Snicket is investigating a case of arson but soon finds himself enveloped in the ever-increasing mystery that haunts the town of Stain'd-by-the-Sea. Who is setting the fires? What secrets are hidden in the Department of Education? Why are so many schoolchildren in danger? Is it all the work of a notorious villain? How could you even ask that? These are all the wrong questions. Maybe you should be in school? The mystery continues in Why Is This Night Different from All Other Nights?, which is available now.

Adrienne Kress' adventure stories for kids have many things in common with those penned by Lemony Snicket: the adventures are strikingly outlandish, the humor and tone are simultaneously dark and tongue-in-cheek, and many of the characters are at least quirky if not downright bizarre. -- Ellen Foreman
Both Eva Ibbotson and Lemony Snicket are known for their quirky characters and witty writing styles. In their engaging books for older kids, brave children encounter adventure and become the heroes of their own fantastical stories. Ibbotson's books are also known for their whimsy, while Snicket's tone is more sardonic. -- Kelly White
Ellis Weiner's books for children are filled with snarky asides, witty commentary and fancy vocabulary words, in the style that Lemony Snicket originated. Weiner even dedicated his second Templeton Twins novel to Snicket. -- Autumn Winters
Both authors write absorbing fantasy adventures featuring exaggerated characters and plucky orphans in grim situations that are often tempered by humor in the writing. Lemony Snicket's middle grade novels are consistently darkly humorous adventures while Jonathan Auxier writes in a range of genres from adventure to horror. -- NoveList Contributor
In their books for kids and younger teens, both of these authors write stories characterized by wacky misadventures, pell-mell action, kooky characters (especially the villains), and intrusive, smarty-pants narrators. -- Ellen Foreman
Lemony Snicket and Roald Dahl are both writers whose imaginative books for older kids often detail the lives of children involved in extraordinary adventures. Their engaging, witty stories recount with humor the ways clever children triumph over the bumbling and sometimes sinister adult world. -- Kelly White
The darkly humorous picture books of both Jon Klassen and Lemony Snicket subtly explore the emotions of childhood, often using deadpan humor. -- NoveList Contributor
