A review by cleverruhs
Alex and the Ironic Gentleman by Adrienne Kress

3.0

This book seemed to take a lot of its inspiration and style from the Lemony Snicket books. That being said, I enjoyed the story and its entertaining characters.
Alex is enjoying a new school year with new teacher Mr. Underwood. Things take a turn for the strange, however, when Mr. Underwood's past is revealed and he is kidnapped by pirates. Alex sets out on a quest to rescue her favorite teacher and, possibly, to discover some buried treasure.
