Grade 4-7-This fourth book in the series about the Baudelaire
orphans works fine as a stand-alone. The ＂poor little rich kids＂
lead lives filled with unhappiness, gothic horror, and melodramatic
despair. Here, the protagonists are sent to work in a lumber mill
in Paltryville, where they are fed only a stick of gum for lunch
and are forced to perform backbreaking labor. Their enemy, Count
Olaf, is not far from the scene, and will certainly utilize any
disguise to get at the siblings'' inher
內容簡介：
I hope, for your sake, that you have not chosen to read this
book because you are in the mood for a pleasant experience. If this
is the case, I advise you to put this book down instantaneously,
because of all the books describing the unhappy lives of the
Baudelaire orphans, The Miserable Mill might be the unhappiest yet.
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. I
have promised to write down the entire history of these three poor
children, but you haven′t, so if you prefer stories that are more
heartwarming, please feel free to make another selection.
