The Ersatz Elevator

by Brett Helquist · A Series of Unfortunate Events series

The Baudelaire orphans arrive at 667 Dark Avenue, where a penthouse apartment without an elevator forces them to navigate a building of sinister residents and cryptic rules. Count Olaf's latest disguise and a mysterious auction bring fresh dangers in their continuing fight to uncover family secrets. Snicket's trademark wit darkens as the mysteries deepen.
