A Series of Unfortunate Events- The Miserable Mill


If it isn't our favourite orphans of all time. The Baudelaires. What sort of miserable adventure will they lead this time? Written by Lemony Snicket, the Series of Unfortunate events is a series of books that talk about the misfortunes, troubles, and adventures of the Baudelaires. The Miserable Mill is the fourth book of the series, and the first book is 'The Bad Beginning'. To be followed by 'The Reptile Room' and then 'The Wide Window'.

Who are these Baudelaires, exactly? Well no other than possibly the most unlucky orphans in all of history. Three siblings by the names of Violet, Klaus, and Sunny are constantly in danger by a 'relative' by the name of Count Olaf. Olaf has been after their fortune for ages, and Mr. Poe, their 'guidance' is no help at all, but quite oblivious to the manner.

Sunny Baudelaire is our youngest Baudelaire. She is yet to grow up, and speaks gibberish- the language of all babies. The only ones to understand her unique talk are her siblings. She has a wickedly sharp bite, which is quite useful at points.

Klaus Baudelaire is the middle of the Baudelaires. Still, he is not to be underestimated. Quite knowledgeable from all the books he read, he's really resourceful and can use his wisdom of many things to get them out of tricky situations.

Violet is the oldest Baudelaire, and quite an amazing inventor. She has a knack for fixing things and making them better with spare parts. She can make intricate machines that work wonders with small tools.

The Baudelaires are a smart and witty bunch. But even then. How long can they go with their wits and quick thinking? A little luck couldn't hurt, would it? Yet again, they crash into a lot of trouble at the mill. Will Count Olaf never quit?

With a unibrowed villain after them, the Baudelaires go to Paltryville to work in a lumber mill where they find disaster and misfortune lurking everywhere. Will their bad luck ever go away? I recommend this book to all kids and teens, and it's a book everyone should read! Wonderfully written!

*** I give this book a 9.89 out of 10!***
