A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket
This book is about the three Baudelaire children—Violet, Klaus, and Sunny. When they go for a walk on the beach one day it turns out a fire burned down their house with their parents inside and now they are orphans. The only thing they are left with is memories and a fortune their parents left them. Violet, Sunny, and Klaus are sent to live with a distant relative, Count Olaf. Count Olaf is obsessed with getting his hands on the Baudelaire fortune and he will do anything to have it. So he hatches a plan, which is to marry Violet. Much like the title, these children are going to stumble upon unfortunate events. I would recommend this book—I just loved it! Lemony Snicket is a brilliant writer. Also, he is very clever. Mr. Snicket has written an excellent series hitting the key parts all books should have.
