The Austere Academy - A Unfortunate Events - Thryft
The Austere Academy - A Unfortunate Events - Thryft

Orphans navigate school in uniquely gloomy tale.

If you delight in stories tinged with dark humor and wit, "The Austere Academy" won't disappoint. The fifth book in Lemony Snicket's series has the Baudelaire orphans facing dismal prospects with a smart, satirical edge that is both entertaining and cleverly subversive. It's perfect for those who love their tales eccentric and their narrative voices extraordinary.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

NOW A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIESAs the three Baudelaire orphans warily approach their new home Prufrock Preparatory School, they can't help but notice the enormous stone arch bearing the school's motto Memento Mori or "Remember you will die."This is not a cheerful greeting and certainly marks an inauspicious beginning to a very bleak story just as we have come to expect from Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, the deliciously morbid set of books that began with The Bad Beginning and only got worse.
