Honestly the only thing I could think of at this point was - don't they have to attend school? I mean obviously not Sunny, but Violet and Klaus? It's actually starting to really bother me and I don't know how I never noticed when I first read the series.Ĭount Olaf makes an appearance when he turns up disguised as "Stephano" - Uncle Monty's new assistant. And Sunny needs to chew the long rope into small manageable pieces.

Klaus has to read through all the Peru guidebooks and make notes. Violet has to build, fix and maintain snake traps. To prepare for their trip he has the Baudelaire's working on all their favourite things. He can't leave the children home so he plans to bring them with him.


Uncle Monty has a trip planned to Peru - an expedition to study snakes and find specimens for him to present at the Herpetological Society. The second book, The Reptile Room, sees the Baudelaire siblings placed with a new distant relative - their father's cousin's wife's brother? - Uncle Monty - a herpetologist/snake scientist. Well it's still sad and depressing but at least there were no sexual overtones and less brutal violence in this installment.
