#8 The Hostile Hospital - Lemony Snicket

Terribly fun. Thank you mysterious stranger who abandoned them in my mailroom. I hope the library stocks them.
All mentioned have been burned through by my girls. The Snickets should all be in the library. They are wildly popular.

Maybe I should wait for Martin to close the cycle? I hate getting ahead of the author.
