About the book
NOW A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
The Baudelaires need a safe place to stay—somewhere far away from terrible villains and local police. A quiet refuge where misfortune never visits. Might Heimlich Hospital be just the place?
In Lemony Snicket's eighth ghastly installment in A Series of Unfortunate Events, I'm sorry to say that the Baudelaire orphans will spend time in a hospital where they risk encountering a misleading newspaper headline, unnecessary surgery, an intercom system, anesthesia, heart-shaped balloons, and some very startling news about a fire.
This is a story of peril and paperwork, where the only thing more dangerous than the cure is the hospital itself.
- Dark Humor: Join narrator Lemony Snicket as he documents the Baudelaire orphans’ ghastly time at Heimlich Hospital, a place where heart-shaped balloons are considered medical treatment.
- Resourceful Kids: Watch Violet, Klaus, and Sunny use their unique talents—inventing, research, and biting—to survive an incompetent staff and a truly unnecessary surgery.
- Secret Societies: The hunt for the meaning of V.F.D. continues inside a dusty Library of Records, leading to startling news about a fire and a potential survivor.
- Absurdist Humor: Meet the Volunteers Fighting Disease, a group of cheerful singers who believe that no news is good news, even when it’s in The Daily Punctilio.
