Summary
Summary
Best to start at the beginning, but the whole’s an enjoyable ride.”—Kirkus ReviewsBefore the Baudelaires became orphans, before he encountered A Series of Unfortunate Events, even before the invention of Netflix, Lemony Snicket was a boy discovering the mysteries of the world. This is his story.
Train travel! Murder! Librarians! A Series Finale!
On all other nights, the train departs from Stain'd Station and travels to the city without stopping. But not tonight. You might ask, why is this night different from all other nights? But that's the wrong question. Instead ask, where is this all heading? And what happens at the end of the line? Will the final book in Lemony Snicket's bestselling series, All the Wrong Questions offer any answers?
"Snicket...closes his quartet of smart, noirish mysteries...with several bangs (and a poison dart or two). Most questions (wrong and right) are answered by the satisfying close."—Kirkus Reviews

Editorial Reviews
“Author Snicket closes his quartet of smart, noirish mysteries detailing the early training of the chronicler of the woes of the Baudelaire children with several bangs (and a poison dart or two). Most questions (wrong and right) are answered by the satisfying close. Best to start at the beginning, but the whole’s an enjoyable ride.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Narrator Liam Aiken skillfully brings this series finale to a satisfying conclusion…Aiken presents the story’s clever wordplay and vocabulary in a lively manner that will appeal to young listeners…Lemony’s sadness is audibly apparent in Aiken’s tone.” —AudioFile
Author Snicket closes his quartet of smart, noirish mysteries detailing the early training of the chronicler of the woes of the Baudelaire children with several bangs (and a poison dart or two). Best to start at the beginning, but the whole's an enjoyable ride. —Kirkus Reviews
Snicket’s distinct writing style is wholly entertaining...this book [is] quirkily enjoyable and it did justice to the rest of this unusual yet compelling series. —The Guardian
* "[With] gothic wackiness, linguistic play and literary allusions....Fans of the Series of Unfortunate Events will be in heaven picking out tidbit references to the tridecalogy, but readers who've yet to delve into that well of sadness will have no problem enjoying this weird and witty yarn. —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
*"Full of Snicket's trademark droll humor and maddeningly open-ended, this will have readers clamoring for volume two. —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
* "Will thrill fans of the author's earlier works and have even reluctant readers turning pages with the fervor of seasoned bookworms. A must-have. —School Library Journal (starred review)
*"Full of Snicket's characteristic wit and word play . . . this book belongs in all collections. —VOYA (starred review)
Please, it's Lemony Snicket. Enough said. —Booklist
There's no stopping Snicket! —Booklist
A Pink Panther-esque page turner...exceptionally literary and entirely singular. Characterized by linguistic playfulness and an appreciation for the archaic, "Who Could That Be at This Hour?" is frequently laugh-out-loud hilarious...illustrations by celebrated cartoonist Seth only add to the throwback gumshoe vibe of this outrageous, long-overdue, middle-grade follow-up series from a truly beloved narrator. —Los Angeles Times
Demands to be read twice: once for the laughs and the second time for the clues. —The Boston Globe
The sort of goodie savored by brainy kids who love wordplay, puzzles and plots that zing from point A to B by way of the whole alphabet. —The Washington Post
