A Series of Unfortunate Events #2: The Reptile Room by Snicket, Lemony
NOW A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIESViolet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire are intelligent children. They are charming, and resourceful, and have pleasant facial features. Unfortunately, they are exceptionally unlucky.In the first two books alone, the three youngsters encounter a greedy and repulsive villain, itchy clothing, a disastrous fire, a plot to steal their fortune, a lumpy bed, a deadly serpent, a large brass reading lamp, a long knife, and a terrible odour. In the tradition of great storytellers, from Dickens to Dahl, comes an exquisitely dark comedy that is both literary and irreverent, hilarious and deftly crafted. Never before has a tale of three likeable and unfortunate children been quite so enchanting, or quite so uproariously unhappy.Author: Lemony SnicketPublisher: HarperCollinsPublished: 08/25/1999Pages: 208Binding Type: HardcoverWeight: 0.56lbsSize: 7.36h x 5.24w x 0.79dISBN: 9780064407670Audience: Ages 9-12Accelerated Reader:Reading Level: 6.3Point Value: 5Interest Level: Middle GradeQuiz #/Name: 41286 / Reptile RoomAward: Colorado Blue Spruce Award - NomineeReview Citation(s): Ingram Advance 08/01/1999 pg. 40Publishers Weekly 09/06/1999 pg. 104School Library Journal 11/01/1999 pg. 165Booklist 12/01/1999 pg. 707Hornbook Guide to Children 07/01/1999 pg. 88 - Recommended, SatisfactoryUSA Today 12/18/2002 pg. 1Hornbook Guide to Children 01/01/2000 pg. 88 - Recommended, SatisfactoryLibrary Journal 11/01/1999
