In the fading town of Stain’d-by-the-Sea, young apprentice Lemony Snicket has a new case to solve when he and his chaperone are hired to find a missing girl. Is the girl a runaway? Or was she kidnapped? Was she seen last at the grocery store? Or could she have stopped at the diner? Is it really any of your business? These are all the wrong questions.

Paintings have been falling off of walls, a loud and loyal dog has gone missing, a gurgled message is being transmitted by walkie-talkie - strange things are happening all over the town of Stain'd-by-the-Sea. Called upon to investigate these suspicious incidents, young Lemony Snicket collects clues, questions witnesses, and cracks every case. .

This true story - as true as Lemony Snicket himself - begins with a puzzling note under his door: You had poison for breakfast. Following a winding trail of clues to solve the mystery of his own demise, Snicket takes us on a thought-provoking tour of his predilections: the proper way to prepare an egg, a perplexing idea called “tzimtzum”, the sublime pleasure of swimming in open water, and much else. 

From New York Times bestselling author Lemony Snicket comes an uproarious, whimsical story like no other. As an added highlight, this audiobook includes an original song, composed by Nico Muhly and sung by mezzo-soprano Eve Gigliotti, that ties all thirteen words together in an unforgettable and...

Best-selling author Lemony Snicket (a.k.a. Daniel Handler) recently spoke with Beth Anderson, Audible's publisher, about A Series of Unfortunate Events. He talked about his experience narrating audiobooks, as well as his participation in the movie. You'll hear about his favorite authors and musicians and learn more about the Baudelaire orphans. Whether you are a die-hard fan or new to this fantastically grim and gripping series, this dire dialogue will make you marvelously miserable.

This is a story about a lump of coal who can think, talk, and move itself around. Is there a more charming holiday tale to behold? Probably, but Lemony Snicket has not written one...

Caro Leitor, Se você acaba de pegar este livro para ler, então não é tarde demais para colocá-lo de volta na estante. Como os livros anteriores dessas DESVENTURAS EM SÉRIE, não há nada para se encontrar nestas páginas a não ser desgraças, desespero e mal-estar, e você ainda está em tempo de escolher alguma outra coisa. Nos capítulos desta história, Violet, Klaus e Sunny Baudelaire encontram uma escadaria escura, um arenque vermelho, alguns amigos em situação desesperada, três iniciais misteriosas, um mentiroso com um plano sinistro, uma passagem secreta e refrigerante de ...

Caro Leitor, A palavra "carnívora", que aparece no título deste livro, significa "comedora de carne", e isso já é suficiente para você interromper a leitura desde já. Este volume carnívoro contém uma história tão perturbadora que irá revirar o seu estômago muito mais do que a mais desbalanceada das refeições. Para evitar causar desconforto a você, seria melhor eu não mencionar nenhum dos enervantes ingredientes desta história, especialmente um mapa confuso, uma pessoa ambidestra, uma multidão indócil, uma prancha de madeira e Chabo, o Bebê-Lobo. Infelizmente para mim, todo ...

Caro Leitor, Antes de atirar no chão este livro horroroso e se afastar dele tanto quanto possível, talvez seja melhor entender por que você deve fazer isso. Este é o único livro que descreve até o último detalhe a miserável estadia das crianças no Hospital Heimlich - e isso faz dele um dos livros mais tenebrosos do mundo. Existem muitas coisas agradáveis de ler; este livro não contém nenhuma delas. Em suas páginas, há elementos lamentáveis, tais como um desconfiadíssimo dono de armazém, uma cirurgia desnecessária e fatal, um sistema de intercomunicadores, anestesia, balões ...
