Shouldn't You Be in School?

"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.
