****

David got a new phone from his dad. He was really happy because in school everyone has a phone even some people never make any calls they just think it's cool. But one day an old man named Eric called him and said that can you tell my wife the ring is under the fridge but David doesn't know that person. The man told David his address and to tell his wife the message. When David went to that address and told Eric's wife that the ring is under the fridge the wife cried. David apologized to her and she said it's okay and she told David that Eric died and when he died she tried to find his ring but she could not find it maybe it rolled down under the fridge she thought. Soon David received some calls from strangers telling him to tell someone a message.

The Reptile Room

Lemony Snicket

*****

The three Baudelaire Orphans is now living with their uncle Monty. Uncle Monty is a herpetologist and he has a really BIG room filled with types of reptiles the room is called "The Reptile Room"

Uncle Monty wanted to bring the three orphans to Peru but when Uncle Monty's assistant arrived to his house something happened. Slowly and slowly Violet discovered that Uncle Monty's assistant Stephano is actually Count Olaf! Count Olaf shaved his hair and eye brows and put makeup on his eye tattoo of his ankle so no body knows it's him. Count Olaf wants to bring the three orphans to Peru and take their Baudelaire fortune by doing that he has to kill Uncle Monty and take his ticket.

Count Olaf almost brought the three orphans to Peru but the orphans discovered that Count Olaf injected one of the snake's venom to Uncle Monty's and made an extra hole on Uncle Monty's hand so it looks like a snake bite. The orphans told how Count Olaf killed Uncle Monty to Mr. Poe and Mr. Poe wanted to bring Count Olaf to jail but Dr. Lucafont brought Count Olaf with him but Sunny the youngest Baudelaire discovered that Dr. Lucafont is one of Count Olaf's friend so both of them escaped.

Now I can't tell you anymore because you have to read the book yourself.

My favorite part of the book is when Violet discovered that Stephano is actually Count Olaf and I love this book soooooo much that I think you should read it too.

The Bad Beginning

*****

Lemony Snicket

This story does start with a bad beginning. As Mr. Poe told the Baudelaire children that their parents sadly died in a fire. The children have to stay with a very unpleasant man named Count Olaf which is now their guardian. Count Olaf can be nice in front of Mr. Poe or anyone else but he leaves the children some very hard chores like for example cooking dinner for Count Olaf and his theater troupe.

The children would have a very fun time with Count Olaf's kind neighbor named Justice Strauss and also reading in her nice library.

Count Olaf actually wants the Baudelaire fortune and to own it he have to marry Violet but Violet have to say "I do" in the marriage if she doesn't Sunny will be dropped from the tall tower but Violet did a smart thing she said "I do" but he also signed the form with her left hand she has to sign it with her right hand because she is right handed. Her marriage with Count Olaf is canceled. Count Olaf was supposed to be arrested but that didn't happen because he escaped with his friends. The Baudelaire orphans have no one to live with they were about to stay with Justice Strauss but she wasn't a relative so they stayed with Mr. Poe for a while but they don't know who are they staying with next anyways where is Count Olaf going? and what is he up to next?
