 | The Slippery Slope Product# 460547560 Selling for $12.99 "Dear Reader, Like handshakes, house pets, or raw carrots, many things are preferable when not slippery.

In order to spare you any further repulsion, it would be best not to mention any of the unpleasant details of this story, particularly a secret message, a toboggan, a deceitful trap, a swarm of snow gnats, a scheming villain, a troupe of organized youngsters, a covered casserole dish, and a surprising survivor of a terrible fire. Unfortunately, I have dedicated my life to researching and recording the sad tale of the Baudelaire Orphans.

With all due respect, Lemony Snicket" |
