description: Ordinarily, when intelligent, resourceful children like Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire go to boarding shool, they have a jolly good time making new friends and winning gold medals for translating cheerful Latin phrases like "Memento Mori." Regrettably, like everything else in the Baudelaire orphans' lives, their stay at the Prufrock Preparatory School is an experience that no one would ever be foolish enough to describe as "ordinary."For even though the Baudelaires manage to meet two new friends in this book, they also meet the rudest girl in the world and a man who cannot play the violin but insists on doing so anyway. In addition, they are forced to deal with hideous things linke snapping crabs, dripping fungus, and the metric system.Lemony Snicket considers it his solemn duty to record the histoy of the hapless Baudelaires. But unless you actually enjoy listening to brilliantly written but highly disagreeable stories, you might make yourself happier simply eating a peach.From the CD ISBN 1402537379 / 97814025373703.5 hours / 4 CDs
