This book is about the Baudelaires who get sent off to a new family. They end up getting sent off to these two rich people who live in the penthouse. As the book goes on, an auctioneer starts talking to the Baudelaires new foster mom. They immediately think its Count Olaf and they're right. They try to figure out his plan and realize that Count Olaf is going to take away the Quagmire triplets in one of the auction items. They try to stop the plan, but Count Olaf ends up winning. I would recommend this book to people who like adventures.
