The Ersatz Elevator - Thryft

Orphans navigate wealth, mystery, and persistent woe.

If you've found yourself charmed by the macabre tales of Roald Dahl or the gothic whimsy of Edward Gorey, "The Ersatz Elevator" might be your next obsession. Lemony Snicket's sixth foray into the Baudelaire's unfortunate lives blends dark humor and clever storytelling. As the orphans find themselves in a world of opulence shadowed by misfortune, you're in for a delightfully dismal adventure with rich visual storytelling—a stark contrast to their dismal reality that keeps readers hooked.

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 SERIESIn their most daring misadventure, the Baudelaire orphans are adopted by very, very rich people, whose penthouse apartment is located mysteriously close to the place where all their misfortune began. Even though their new home in the city is fancy, and the children are clever and charming, I'm sorry to say that still, the unlucky orphans will encounter more disaster and woe.In fact, in this sixth book in A Series of Unfortunate Events, the children will experience a darkened staircase, a red herring, an auction, parsley soda, some friends in a dire situation, a secret passageway, and pinstripe suits.Both literary and irreverent, hilarious and deftly crafted, A Series of Unfortunate Events offers an exquisitely dark comedy in the tradition of Edward Gorey and Roald Dahl. Lemon Snicket's uproariously unhappy books continue to win readers, despite all his warnings.
