As the page turns..

"The Baudelaire orphans, however, had no choice but to be on the road less traveled."

The 'Slippery Slope' finds the orphans divided, as Klaus and Violet must save their little sister from the clutches of their mortal enemy: count Olaf. In this chapter of their unfortunate adventures they do find a very resourceful ally. Plus I should mention that the wordplay with the letter V.F.D is ingenious!

I really like this book very much and I would have been surprised to find who that ally was, had I not accidentally read it on a wiki page of the series (people should really avoid reading these pages, they are full of spoilers....) I am already on the next book and I can't wait to see how the story ends...
