Description
The Ersatz Elevator (A Series of Unfortunate Events #6) by Lemony Snicket continues the endlessly grim saga of the Baudelaire orphans in this sixth instalment of the bestselling children’s series. In this darkly humorous mystery, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny are placed in the care of new guardians at a swanky high-rise apartment building where fashion matters more than common sense and elevators are mysteriously out of order. As usual, the Baudelaires quickly uncover a sinister plot involving their arch-nemesis, Count Olaf, who remains relentlessly determined to steal their family fortune.
This time, the orphans must navigate a maze of absurd rules, a suspicious elevator shaft, and a tangle of secrets while trying to save their kidnapped friends and evade Olaf’s latest scheme. Lemony Snicket’s trademark wit and offbeat storytelling shine through as he guides readers through a world where adults are clueless, danger lurks behind every door, and even fizzy parsley soda can hold dark surprises.
