The fourth book in the Series of Unfortunate Event series, and one of the shorter books.
The orphans are sent to work at a Lumber Mill, where their new "guardian" has them to work there in exchange for protecting them from Count Olaf. Needless to say, Olaf shows up anyways with two accomplices who work to brainwash Klaus and force accidents at the mill.
It's a standard story for the series, but seeing Violet forced to do Klaus's main skill of reading challenging books and Klaus have to create an invention to save the day was a fun twist. It doesn't overstay it's welcome, and now it's off to one of the best books in the series.
