Everybody loves a carnival! Who can fail to delight in the colorful people,
the unworldly spectacle, the fabulous freaks? A carnival is a place for good
family fun, as long as one has a family, that is. For the Baudelaire orphans,
their time at a carnival turns out to be yet another episode in a now unbearable
series of unfortunate events. In fact, in this appalling ninth installment in
Lemony Snicket's serial, the siblings must confront a terrible lie, an
ambidextrous person, a caravan, and Chabo the wolf baby.
