4-6All the Wrong Questions series.
Illustrated by
Seth.
Young Lemony is a detective apprentice in the Sam Spade mode, successfully investigating the theft of a black wooden statue. In a style equal parts deadpan and just plain nutty, Snicket demonstrates his gift for metaphor, and illustrations by cartoonist Seth are a perfect tonal match. Take a deep breath, fans: this is the first of a new series.
