                After being expelled from P.P.S., the Baudelaire orphans went to 667 Dark Avenue.  The street was named after how dark it is when it is daytime. Mr. and Mrs. Squalor, their new guardians, live in a 72 bedroom penthouse apartment. The Baudelaire orphans had to climb 66 floors because elevators were out of fashion. Later in the book the Baudelaire orphans discover the Quagmires in a cage in an empty elevator shaft. Surprised to see them, the Baudelaire orphans discover count Olaf's plan. This time to get the Quagmire fortune not the Baudelaire's! In the end the Quagmires get auctioned away in a big red fish! Does his plan work or not? I don't know, but I will find out asap.

           In this book, instead of going to a family's house, the Baudelaire orphans get sent to Prufrock Preparatory School, P.P.S.  P.P.S. is a boarding school with fantastic dorms.  The only bad thing is you have to have a guardian sign a peace of paper for you to get in. Because of that the Baudelaire orphans have to stay in a shack with crabs and fungus.  Count Olaf's plan is simple, be a gym coach, make the Baudelaire orphans run laps all night so they sleep during class, have them fail on the exam, and they will be his!  But that doesn't happen, thankfully.  Something bad does happen at the end of the story. Klaus gets kicked in the stomach by who other than Count Olaf!
