NOW A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

Warning: Your day will become very dark—and possibly damp—if you read this book.

Plan to spend this spring in hiding. Lemony Snicket is back with the eleventh book in his New York Times bestselling A Series of Unfortunate Events.

Lemony Snicket's saga about the charming, intelligent and grossly unlucky Baudelaire orphans continues to provoke suspicion and despair in readers the world over. In the eleventh and most alarming volume yet in the bestselling phenomenon A Series of Unfortunate Events, the intrepid siblings delve further into the dark mystery surrounding the death of their parents and the baffling VFD organisation.


But what new horrors await them in the dark, damp depths of the sea?


  • A Submarine Full of Secrets: The Baudelaires find themselves aboard the Queequeg, a vessel crewed by a mysterious captain and his mycologist stepdaughter, but it is unclear whether they are friends or foes.
  • A Perilous Underwater Cave: Their mission takes them to the Gorgonian Grotto, a place lousy with a deadly, poisonous fungus known as the Medusoid Mycelium.
  • The V.F.D. Mystery Deepens: As the siblings uncover more about the secret organization, they learn that the line between noble volunteers and wicked villains is blurrier than they ever imagined.
  • A Shocking Betrayal: Just when the orphans believe they have found new allies, a familiar face with hooks for hands reappears, and a trusted friend makes a terrible choice.
