Violet, Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire are sent to Paltryville to
work in a lumber mill, and they find disaster and misfortune
lurking behind every log. The pages of this book, I'm sorry to
inform you, contain such unpleasantries as a giant pincher
machine, a bad casserole, a man with a cloud of smoke where his
head should be, a hypnotist, a terrible accident resulting in
injury, and coupons. Also available in the series: The
Carnivorous Carnival, The Austere Academy.
