The Grim Grotto:
As you all know, I love this series of books and I hope you do too. In this book three children are on the run from the police for a crime they didn't commit. Also, the person who did commit them (Count Olaf) is chasing after them where ever they go for their enormous fortune that their parents left them when they died. This chase takes them up to the top of the mountain and they start to fall down a river that leads down the mountain and into the sea.
When they think they are going to die they see something sticking out the water and they identify it as part of a submarine. Thee captain of this submarine lets them in and they are now crew members. They learn that the captain of the submarine also is an enemy of Count Olaf and is looking for something that Count Olaf wants so it won't fall into the wrong hands. They decide to work together to find this item before Olaf does.
Hopefully, this sounds like a book you might like because I honestly do and I thought it was one of the best ones in the whole series.
The Penultimate Peril:
This book got me really excited because it the second to last book and when there's 13 books in a series you are going to get excited near the end. The plot in this book is the three Baudelaires are employed by a secret organisation (V.F.D) that Olaf used to work for. If your wondering why the Baudelaires are working for the same organisation as Olaf used to then I'll answer for you. Years before the Baudelaire children were born, a secret organisation called (V.F.G) split in two. The good people and the bad people.
They are told to work at a hotel and work out who are the good and bad people that used to work for V.F.G. Also, they are told that this Thursday that a person will find friends of theirs that had to run away from Count Olaf and bring them to the hotel unless they give them a sign that the hotel isn't safe. They are set to work at the hotel straight away and are set little task they have to do by the guests and while doing these tasks they have to work out who is good and bad.
At the end of this book they somehow end up on a boat with Count Olaf. This book I thought was a great second to last book because it really built up the tension.
That's all for this post I'll see you on Wednesday and have a happy bank holiday Monday.
