What this book is about
The Baudelaire orphans find themselves aboard the Queequeg — a submarine crewed by volunteers searching for a sugar bowl at the bottom of the Gloomy Lake. The eleventh A Series of Unfortunate Events continues building toward the series' conclusion as V.F.D.'s true nature becomes clearer and a beloved character is endangered. Snicket's characteristic mix of dark humor and genuine mystery continues.
