BOOK: The reptile room by Snicket

[Frederick Muller <fmuller@TELLURIAN.NET>]

Snicket, Lemony._The reptile room [#2 in A series of Unfortunate
events]. Harper Collins, 1999 [0-06-44067-5]
This is book two in the series concerning a family of orphans.  At
the title suggests, it is a series of unfortunate events but told in a
light-hearted way.  In this book the orphans are given to a scientist
who studies snakes.  They are so happy - every thing is wonderful
until the scientist hires an assistant who turns out to be an evil
person who they know.  Suddenly the scientist is dead and the
orphans are left to prove who this evil assistant is and that he killed
the scientist.  This students are loving this series (although I
thought the first book was much better than the second one.)  This
190 page book is a definite purchase for upper elementary and
middle school.
