A Series Of Unfortunate Events: The Slippery Slope

A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Slippery Slope by
Lemony Snicket Dear Reader Like handshakes house pets or
raw carrots many things are preferable when not slippery.
Unfortunately in this miserable volume I am afraid that
Violet Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire run into more than their
fair share of slipperiness during their harrowing journey
up–and down–a range of strange and distressing
mountains. In order to spare you any further repulsion it
would be best not to mention any of the unpleasant details
of this story particularly a secret message a toboggan a
deceitful map a swarm of snow gnats a scheming villain a
troupe of organized youngsters a covered casserole dish
and a surprising survivor of a terrible fire.
Unfortunately I have dedicated my life to researching and
recording the sad tale of the Baudelaire orphans. There is
no reason for you to dedicate your-self to such things and
you might instead dedicate yourself to letting this
slippery book slip from your hands into a nearby trash
receptacle or deep pit. With all due respect Lemony
Snicket
