The Ersatz Elevator

Flaptekst

Dear Reader,

If you have just picked up this book, then it is not too late to put it back down. Like the previous books A Series of Unfortunate Events, there is nothing to be found in these pages but misery, despair and discomfort, and you still have time to choose something else to red.
Within the chapters of this story, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire encounter a darkened staircase, a red herring, some friends in a dire situation, three mysterious initials, a liar with an evil scheme, a secret passageway and parsley soda.
I have sworn to write down these tales of the Baudelaire orphans so the general public will know each terrible thing that has happened to them, but if you decide to read something else instead, you will save yourself from a heapful of horror and woe.

With all due respect,

Lemony Snicket
