Nobody appreciates great artists when there alive. Take Chet Gecko, for example. True, most folks know him as the best lizard detective at Emerson Hickey Elementary, but it’s not all knuckles and know-how with Chet Gecko. He’s also got his artistic side. If it wasn’t for his art, he might never have been sent to Principal Zero’s office, and he might never have stumbled over the clue that got him started on “The Mystery of Mr. Nice.” Because whatever you can say about Principal Zero, one thing is certain: He is not a nice guy. Until now. Chet knows something is wrong with this picture, and he’s just the gecko to solve the mystery. After all, who do you think put the art in smart aleck?

Dear Reader, I’m sorry to say that the book you are holding in your hands is extremely unpleasant. It tells an unhappy take about three very unlucky children. Even though they are charming and clever, the Baudelaire siblings lead lives filled with misery and woe. From the very first page of this book when the children are at the beach and receive terrible news, continuing on through the entire story, disaster lurks at their heels. One might say they are magnets for misfortune. In this short book alone, the three youngsters encounter a greedy and repulsive villain, itchy clothing, a disastrous fire, a plot to steal their fortune, and cold porridge for breakfast. It is my sad duty to write down these unpleasant tales, but there is nothing stopping you from putting this book down at once and reading something happy, if you prefer that sort of thing. With all due respect, Lemony Snicket
