The Slippery Slope: 10 [Hardcover] Snicket, Lemony

Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire are sliding downhill — literally. After escaping one sinister situation, they find themselves careening down the Mortmain Mountains, pursued by the villainous Count Olaf and his troupe of theatrical criminals. Snow, secrets, and frozen waterfalls await. So does a mysterious V.F.D. headquarters hidden in the ice. Lemony Snicket's tenth installment cranks up the stakes and the darkness, with coded messages, moral ambiguity, and a growing sense that the Baudelaires' quest for answers is leading them somewhere they can't turn back from. The orphans are older, wiser, and making harder choices. For readers deep in the series, this is where loyalties fracture and the mystery tightens its grip. Perfect for fans of dark middle-grade adventures who've been following the Baudelaires since the fire.
