"If you have just picked up this book, then it is not too late to put it back down." The Ersatz Elevator, by Lemony Snicket, tells the story of another unfortunate event in the lives of the Baudelaire orphans. The three children move to 667 Dark Avenue, where their new guardians, Esmé and Jerome Squalor, only care about what's considered "in" and "out". Because of this, Esmé has brought in "Gunther," a supposedly well-known auctioneer, who is really Count Olaf in disguise, with another plot to steal the Baudelaire fortune. Count Olaf's craftiness, in the past, has brought him very close to capturing the fortune, but his inability to plan ahead constantly sets him back.
