This Week's Book


The Dark - Lemony Snicket

You can watch the book trailer here.

Lemony Snicket has written many other books - Have you read any?

Lemony Snicket is the pen name of American novelist Daniel Handler (born February 28, 1970). Snicket is the author of several children's biographies, serving as the narrator of A Series of Unfortunate Events (his best-known work) and appearing as a character within the series. Lemony Snicket was born before you were, and is likely to die before you as well. His family has roots in a part of the country which is now under water, and his childhood was spent in the relative splendor of the Snicket Villa, which has since become a factory, a fortress and a pharmacy and is now, alas, someone else's villa. His true birthplace and details about his family remain a mystery.


Do you know any other books written by Lemony Snicket? Let us know which ones you have read and whether you enjoyed them.


We introduced some Graphic Novels.


Graphic novels tell the story with pictures and text. We handed out a few graphic novels and are looking toward to hearing from you on the blog to see how you enjoyed them.

  2. A review of The Dark by Ruby SS - I think that the book was really good. I liked that now I know it's not just me scared of the dark. And I liked how Lazlo talked to the dark. Lemony Snicket is really good at thinking. I liked it a lot!

  5. I read the comic book Pride and Prejudice and I loved it just as much as the actual novel. I think it's great to compare the novel, graphic novel and movie as I have.
