"I have a son. He's 11, and he's the one who wanted to read A Series of Unfortunate Events. The book is about the misadventures of a family, the Baudelaire family and these children are tragically orphaned in the first book, and end up being sent to live with an uncle who's only interested in their fortune. I loved the humor, dark humor. Lots of wordplay. He has certain things that he does that he does repeatedly, like he'll use a phrase, like dastardly, and then he'll say, which, in parentheses, which in this case means, you know, evil to the core or something, something funnier than that. But he gives these definitions of words that acknowledges that a kid might not necessarily know what they mean, but that gives them a very funny definition in context. It's probably geared towards a slightly younger crowd, but I can see how, you know, even a little bit older kids could get into it."
