The Wide Window: A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 3

Perfect book and will treasure it forever.

My 10 year old little girl loves all these books. She finished it within a few days and now wants more!

This was bought as a birthday present andwas sent straight to the young lady that it was intended for. It arrived in time and she was very pleased with it

Thank you

This book is suitable for 10 to12 year olds, its funny and a good one to encourage children to read.

The Wide Window is the third book in A Series of Unfortunate Events by American author, Lemony Snicket (aka Daniel Handler). As we once again join the unlucky Baudelaire orphans, they are about to be deposited by their banker, Mr Poe, with another distant relative, Aunt Josephine, who lives, fearful on many things in a house precariously perched above Lake Lachrymose. Having already suffered the loss of their parents, the threat of marriage, and the murder of their Uncle Monty at the hands of the evil Count Olaf, the siblings are ever-vigilant of his reappearance. Luckily these well-mannered and uncomplaining children are also very resourceful: Violet invents, Klaus reads and Sunny bites. Snicket's tone throughout is apologetic, sincere and matter-of-fact as he relates the unfortunate events in the children's lives; his imaginative and even surreptitiously educational style will hold much appeal for younger readers. This instalment, cucumber soup, sailing on a lake in a hurricane, hungry leeches with teeth, peppermints and the importance of grammar all have a part in the tale. The alliterative titles are delightful and Brett Helquist provides some wonderfully evocative sketches. What will befall the Baudelaires in The Miserable Mill?

Great book

My 10 year old son loves this series and the storyline. He said he loves the way it is narrated and that it's different from other books because of this. The children are very bright and well mannered which makes them good role models. This is a pretty light easy read.

The book was in great condition, with no marks or tears. I am very happy with this product!!

Of course this book and the entire series is worthy of 5 stars. The 4 star rating is due to the fact that the picture for the product is of a hardback The Wide Window book, when it is actually paperback. It's my fault for not reading the description, but it's also the seller's fault for posting an incorrect image and not putting "paperback" in a more noticeable place. Nothing wrong with the book or the quality of the words inside! But I was expecting a hardback and had a good reason to believe I would get one.

Great read
