      From debut author Jeff Seymour and bestselling illustrator Brett Helquist (Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events) comes this breathtaking fantasy adventure, starring an extraordinary new heroine and set in an unforgettable world where ships can fly.It takes a very special crew to keep the cloudship Orion running, and no one knows that better than Nadya Skylung, who tends the cloud garden that keeps the ship afloat. When the unthinkable happens and pirates attack, Nadya and the other children aboard--all orphans taken in by the kindhearted Captain Nic--narrowly escape, but the rest of the crew is captured. Alone and far from help, only Nadya and her four brave and loyal friends can take back the Orion and rescue the crew. And she'll risk life and limb to save the only family she's ever known. But . . . this attack was no accident. What exactly are the pirates looking for? Could it be Nadya they've been after all along?"Nadya Skylung is one smart, sassy, spitfire heroine with gills. I love her!" --Liesl Shurtliff, New York Times bestselling author of Rump"A stunningly imaginative world unlike anything I've seen before. It is thrilling, it is emotional, and it is wholly original." --M. A. Larson, author of Pennyroyal Academy"A stunning debut filled with derring-do, surprises, and truly original world building." --J. A. White, author of The Thickety

      "It all starts on the morning the letter D disappears from the language. First, it vanishes from her parents' conversation at breakfast, then from the road signs outside. Soon the local dentist and the neighbour's Dalmatian are missing, and even the Donkey Derby has been called off. Though she doesn't know why, Dhikilo is summoned to the home of her old history teacher Professor Dodderfield and his faithful Labrador, Nelly Robinson. And this is where our story begins. Set between England and the wintry land of Liminus, a world enslaved by the monstrous Gamp and populated by fearsome, enchanting creatures, D (Tale of Two Worlds) is a mesmerising tale of friendship and bravery in an uncertain world."--Publisher

    • The last volume of the fabulously popular A Series of Unfortunate Events series, in which the history of the Baudelaire orphans is brought to its end.You are presumably looking at the back of this book, or the end of the end. The end of the end is the best place to begin the end, because if you read the end from the beginning of the beginning of the end to the end of the end of the end, you will arrive at the end of the end of your rope. This book is the last in A Series of Unfortunate Events, and even if you braved the previous twelve volumes, you probably can't stand such unpleasantries as a fearsome storm, a suspicious beverage, a herd of wild sheep, an enormous bird cage, and a truly haunting secret about the Baudelaire parents. It has been my solemn occupation to complete the history of the Baudelaire orphans, and at last I am finished. You likely have some other occupation, so if I were you I would drop this book at once, so the end does not finish you. With all due respect, Lemony Snicket

    • Dear Reader, Unless you are a slug, a sea anemone, or mildew, you probably prefer not to be damp. You might also prefer not to read this book, in which the Baudelaire siblings encounter an unpleasant amount of dampness as they descend into the depths of despair, underwater. In fact, the horrors they encounter are too numerous to list, and you wouldn't want me even to mention the worst of it, which includes mushrooms, a desperate search for something lost, a mechanical monster, a distressing message from a lost friend, and tap dancing. As a dedicated author who has pledged to keep recording the depressing story of the Baudelaires, I must continue to delve deep into the cavernous depths of the orphans' lives. You, on the other hand, may delve into some happier book in order to keep your eyes and your spirits from being dampened. With all due respect,Lemony Snicket

    • Within the pages of this omnibus, readers will discover all three books upon which the movie Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events is based: The Bad Beginning, The Reptile Room, and The Wide Window. Like the movie, this thick volume tells an unhappy tale about three very unlucky children, who despite being perfectly well-mannered are perfectly ill-fated. From the very beginning of Book the First, when the children learn of aterrible fire, continuing on to the last page of Book the Third, disaster lurks at their heels. Unlike the movie, however, this book can be hidden under a bed where no one will ever see it again.

    • Like bad smells, uninvited weekend guests or very old eggs, there are some things that ought to be avoided. Snicket's saga about the charming, intelligent, and grossly unlucky Baudelaire orphans continues to alarm its distressed and suspicious fans the world over. The 10th book in this outrageous publishing effort features more than the usual dose of distressing details, such as snow gnats, an organised troupe of youngsters, an evil villain with a dastardly plan, a secret headquarters and some dangerous antics you should not try at home. With the weather turning colder, this is one chilling book you would be better off without. Ages 10+

    • Everybody loves a carnival! Who can fail to delight in the colourful people, the unworldly spectacle, the fabulous freaks? A carnival is a place for good family fun - as long as one has a family, that is. For the Baudelaire orphans, their time at the carnival turns out to be yet another episode in a now unbearable series of unfortunate events. In fact, in this appalling ninth instalment in Lemony Snicket′s serial, the siblings must confront a terrible lie, a caravan, and Chabo the wolf baby. With millions of readers worldwide, and the Baudelaire′s fate turning from unpleasant to unseemly, it is clear that Lemony Snicket has taken nearly all the fun out of children′s books. Ages 10+

      NOW A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES A Warning from the Would you rather sprain your ankle, bruise your hip, and lose a toe to frostbite on the same day? Or would you rather have these accidents happen on three different days? This collection of volumes seven through nine in A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket is the equivalent of having three ghastly accidents right in a row. Contained here are such unpleasantries as kidnapping, disguise, murder, paperwork, another disguise, heart-shaped balloons, false allegations, stiletto heels, a shattered crystal ball, a cryptic map, an irritating song, and quite a few more disguises, all bundled together into a continuous barrage of horror and dismay. The more sensible approach would be to read The Vile Village , The Hostile Hospital , and The Carnivorous Carnival months or even years apart from one another, so you have time to recuperate from the misery each volume offers—or better yet, to turn your eyes away from Mr. Snicket's work and find a literary experience that would cause you no distress whatsoever.

      Dear possible reader of this book, I want to be a writer, just like my uncle Harold, who wrote a bunch of books about our friend Bunnicula. So I wrote this story. And boy! Did I ever get into trouble! My friend Delilah stopped speaking to me because I put her in my book. Uncle Harold stopped speaking to me because I didn't put him in my book. A writer's life isn't easy! But back to my story: It's about how a talented and lovable (not to mention smart) wirehaired dachshund puppy named Howie saves the world from a disgusting, evil menace named...oops, that would give away the story. But trust me, this menace is disgusting and evil, all right!!! Uncle Harold, who is speaking to me again, says it's an exciting book, even though it has too many adjectives. I have no idea what he's talking about. I just hope you like the story. Your friend, Howie

    • Drogi Czytelniku! Jeżeli nie czytałeś jeszcze żadnej książki o sierotach Baudelaire, to przed przeczytaniem następnego zdanie dowiedz się jednego: Wioletka, Klaus i Słoneczko to dzieci grzeczne i inteligentne, ale ich życiem – co stwierdzam z żalem – rządzi pech i nieszczęście. Wszystkie historie o trójce Baudelaire’ów są smutne i przygnębiające, ale ta, którą trzymasz w ręku, jest chyba najgorsza. Jeżeli nie gustujesz w opowieściach, w których występuje huragan, urządzenie sygnalizacyjne, głodne pijawki, chłodnik ogórkowy, brutalny łotr i lalka imieniem Panna Penny – to książka ta najprawdopodobniej wpędzi Cię w czarną rozpacz. Ja zamierzam dalej spisywać tragiczne dzieje sierot Baudelaire, gdyż takie jest moje zadanie. Ty jednak zdecyduj sam, czy potrafisz znieść tę ponurą historię. Z szacunkiem Lemony Snicket

    • The Baudelaires need a safe place to stay - somewhere far away from terrible villains and local police. A quiet refuge where misfortune never visits. Might Heimlich Hospital be just the place? In Lemony Snicket′s eighth ghastly instalment in A Series of Unfortunate Events, I′m sorry to say that the Baudelaire Orphans will spend time in a hospital where they risk encountering a misleading newspaper headline, unnecessary surgery, an intercom system, anesthesia, heart-shaped balloons, and some very startling news about a fire.

    • Drogi Czytelniku! Jeżeli szukasz opowieści o wesołych dzieciach, wiodących fajne życie w internacie, to poszukaj sobie jej gdzie indziej. Wioletka, Klaus i Słoneczko to dzieci inteligentne i pomysłowe, więc można by się spodziewać, że doskonale poradzą sobie w szkole. Ale nic z tego. Szkoła okaże się kolejnym niefortunnym epizodem w życiu Baudelaire’ów. Nie oszukujmy się: w rozdziałach tej książki czyhają na Baudelaire’ów uszczypliwe kraby, surowe kary, kapiący grzyb, egzaminy ze wszystkiego, koncerty skrzypcowe, WYCISK i system metryczny. Moim przykrym obowiązkiem jest nie sypiać po nocach, tylko badać i opisywać historię tych trojga nieszczęsnych dziatek, ale Wy należycie, być może, do tych szczęśliwców, którzy lubią się spokojnie wysypiać. Jeżeli tak, to powinniście chyba sięgnąć po inną książkę. Z poważaniem, Lemony Snicket

    • Mam nadzieję, że nie zdecydowałeś się na przeczytanie tej książki, ponieważ szukasz przyjemnych wrażeń. Jeśli tak, radzę odłożyć ją natychmiast, ponieważ z wszystkich książek opisujących nieszczęśliwe życie sierot Baudelaire'ów, "Miserable Mill" może być najsmutniejsza. Violet, Klaus i Sunny Baudelaire zostają wysłani do Paltryville, aby pracować w tartaku, gdzie czeka na nich katastrofa i nieszczęście za każdym kłodą. Strony tej książki zawierają nieprzyjemności, takie jak ogromna maszyna do chwytania, zła zapiekanka, mężczyzna z chmurą dymu zamiast głowy, hipnotyzer, straszny wypadek prowadzący do obrażeń oraz kupony. Obiecałem opisać całą historię tych trojga biednych dzieci, ale jeśli wolisz opowieści bardziej wzruszające, śmiało wybierz coś innego.

    • Violet, 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. Ages 10+
