★ “Snicket fans will love this book.”―Kirkus Reviews, starred review

New York Times bestselling author Lemony Snicket sheds light on the way bad moods come and go.

Once there was a stick and a bad mood.
The stick was on the ground,
and the bad mood was with a girl named Curly.

Lemony Snicket offers a refreshing and hilarious look at the ways in which a bad mood wreaks havoc as it moves from person to person, leaving an unexpected trail of surprise in its wake: opportunities for laughter, forgiveness and even love.
 
From a bestselling author and an acclaimed artist comes a witty and wise take on the emotional forces that impact our lives.
