In this appalling ninth installment in Lemony Snicket's serial, the Baudelaire orphans must confront a terrible lie, an ambidextrous person, a caravan, and Chabo, the wolf baby. With millions of readers worldwide, and the Baudelaires' fate turning from unpleasant to unseemly, it is clear that Lemony Snicket has taken nearly all of the fun out of children's books.
