Book Review: The Grim Grotto by Lemony Snicket

Genre: Fiction
Ages: 8+
Rating: 8/10

     It's been quite some time since I did my last review on Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, but nevertheless, I have to give a standing ovation to this 11th chapter of the Baudelaire story. I feel as though the perilous circumstances surrounding these three orphans become more and more suspenseful with every book, and The Grim Grotto certainly was no exception to this rule. I'm quite excited to see where fate will lead the Baudelaire's in the 12th book, The Penultimate Peril.

About:
     Rescued by a mysterious submarine, the Baudelaire orphans join a motley crew of volunteers on a quest to save a secret organization. Along the way, they encounter deadly fungi, spine-chilling villains, and terrible truths about the past. Even in the depths of the sea, misfortune still surrounds the three children.

Memorable Quote:
"People aren't either wicked or noble. They're like chef's salads, with good things and bad things chopped and mixed together in a vinaigrette of confusion and conflict."
