Ms.
Donaldson's fourth-grade class at McDowell Elementary School has fallen in love
with her latest read aloud by Lemony Snicket called "A Series of
Unfortunate Events."
The
first words they say when they come to the library are, "Is my hold for
Lemony Snicket in?'
"A
Series of Unfortunate Events" is the story of the three Baudelaire
orphans, Violet, Claus and Sunny. The books are narrated by Lemony Snicket, a
mysterious man who follows the story through clues passed on through a secret
organization known only as the V.F.D.
The
series begins with the three children losing their parents in a fire.
Consequently, a banker named Mr. Poe takes charge of the children and leaves
them with the nearest relative, Count Olaf. The children, however, are dubious
to the fact that Olaf is actually a relative. Olaf and his troupe become the
villains of the series.
McDowell
recommends these books to the world!
