Lemony Snicket
A new stand-alone adventure--appropriate for all ages--by Lemony Snicket, one of the twenty-first century's most beloved authors.For more than twenty years, Lemony Snicket has led millions of young readers through a mysterious world of bewildering questions and unfortunate events.

Following a winding trail of clues to solve the mystery of his own demise, Snicket takes us on a thought-provoking tour of his predilections: the proper way to prepare an egg, a perplexing idea called "tzimtzum," the sublime pleasure of swimming in open water, and much else.Poison for Breakfast is a classic-in-the-making that--in the great tradition of modern fables like The Little Prince and The Phantom Tollbooth--will delight readers of all ages.

"I stumbled upon this book while in the bookstore. I was immediately captured by the cover. Very Lemony Snicketesque lol. I fell in love with his books as a kid reading A Series of Unfortunate Events, so I had to snag this one too! This book did not disappoint AT ALL! Same witty humor and the same writing style that I grew to love from him. Excellent book! 10/10!"
"this book is the definition of delightful. it’s weaves philosophical ideas with a plot in a way which truly makes for a pleasant read, unlike many books about philosophy which often make your head ache with the information about knowing nothing. snickett’s unique voice gleams in each page. this is a short but, impactful read that will leave you feeling content, nothing close to as if you’d have eaten poison for breakfast."
"I have lived reading Lemony Snicket through teens and adulthood. This is such a simple book that means so much! AMAZING read!"
