    I really enjoyed reading this entire series, and since I put them all up at the same time, they'll all get the same comment.

    It was great to read and watch as the lives of the three siblings went on. It was amazing that they were always driven away from a good life, but still survived out in the end.

    One thing I'm disappointed in is that I never got to find out what was in the sugar bowl.

    The Thirteen books of this series left several things open-ended, which is by no means bad. It just makes me madly curious.

    I am satisfied with how the ending went, but I won't say anymore about it. You need to read it for yourself. =)

    My top three books of the series:
    The Reptile Room
    The Penultimate Peril
    The End

Carnivals can be so much fun. They can feature wonderful rides, delicious snacks, remarkable souvenirs, and interestingfortune-tellers. What a perfect place for three charming orphan children to spend some time.

For Violet, who likes to invent things, a carnival might offer just the right sort of broken-down contraptions to create a vehicle that could help her and her siblings escape certain disaster. Her brother, Klaus, who enjoys reading, might come across some interesting documents that reveal an important clue to a great mystery. And Sunny, who likes to bite things with her four sharp teeth, might find some interesting opportunities in a place where one of the attractions is a display of wild animals.

Indeed, a carnival seems like just the place for three highly skilled orphans, who may discover several opportunities to put their talents to use -- particularly if the carnival turns out to be the worst yet in a series of unfortunate events.
