"It takes a village to raise a child." This phrase refers to communities shaping the lives of children... But not quite like this. The Vile Village, by Lemony Snicket, tells the tale of the Baudelaire orphans' new home in the town, V.F.D. Everyone in the crow-filled village is to take care of the three children, while the children themselves are on alert for Count Olaf, or their friends, the Quagmire triplets, who were kidnapped. But when Count Olaf returns, posed as a detective, he blames them for a murder in town, and now the Baudelaires must prove their innocence-- and save their friends as well. At the start of the series, the orphans couldn't understand Olaf's plans until the last minute. Soon, however, the children's wisdom grew, making the evil man's plots easier to unravel.
