In the first of four volumes, Lemony Snicket recounts the time he spent as a young man in a fading town under the care of a dubious chaperone. Navigating the mysteries of childhood can be difficult, and for Lemony Snicket, the tangled plots that surround him include a missing father, a flooding basement, suspiciously young taxi drivers, a stolen statue, a peculiar librarian, and more information than is necessary about a secret organization.
Penned in signature style, All the Wrong Questions: Question 1 (originally published as “Who Could That Be at This Hour?”) invites you to untangle the mysteries that surround young Lemony Snicket.
