Series Of Unfortunate Events #10: The Slippery Slope [Audiobook] [Audio Cassette]

In this book, Klaus and Violet get separated from Sunny Baudelaire, the yougest child. Violet likes is an inventor, and she always keeps her haor tie when she is thinking of an invention. Klaus is a reader. He loves to read, and his reading education always seems to help the Baudelaire children when they are in trouble. Violet thinks of a plan to stop the moving vehicle. Then theu colllect the items they thought they needed on start to walk. They follow the river, which had fish in them. The fish looked like they were coughing because of heavy smoke. Snow knats attack them. These knats sting them, and they keep away from the smell of smoke. Klaus and Violet find shelter in a cave. Inside they meet the Snow Scouts. They were on a Snow Scout hike, going to the Spring Pole. They see one person mysteriously connunicating with the Baudelaire children. They know that each other were doing the same thing: looking for VFD. Sunny on the other hand is kidnapped by Count Olaf and his horrible team. She is forced to cook, and she sleeps in the trunk of the car. She does spying, and she learns that these two wicked people burned down the secret hideout of VFD. They have the Snicket File, which can prove that the Baudelaire orphan's father or mother were alive. It was the proof of the fire that had killed their parents and burned down their home. Violet miraculously saves the Baudelaire children and Quigley, the other triplet of Baudelaire's friends. They slide down the frozen waterfall on a tobaggon. They get separated in the raging river. Quigey went to the other side of the fork, while the Baudelaire children went to the other side.

In this book, I like the quote, "...and we're not leaving without her." Klaus said this, and he said that after Violet and Quigley came bak down from the waterfall where they went to find Sunny. Klaus wanted his sister, and he said this. It showed that he cared, and that he was determined to get his sister back. Violet let her stay with Count Olaf because she wanted to do more spying, and Sunny said that now, she was a big girl. If they had taken Sunny, Count Olaf would've been suspicious. They leave her there, and Klaus said this boldly. He loved his sister, and she cared for him as well.

"...accomodating, basic, calm, darling, emblematic, frisky, grinning, human, innocent, jumping, kept, limited, meek, nap-loving, official, pretty, quarantined, recent, scheduled, tidy, understandable, victorious, wholesome, xylophone, young, zippered." This is what the Snow Scouts say they are. They say that to people they meet, and to describe themsleves or something else. They say that they are these things, but then Klause realizes that some of them don't make snese. No one can be xylophone. They say that that is the only word that starts with an "x," but then Klaus says that they can be xenial. Then Bruce, the Snow Scouts troop leader says that they cannot change the pledge. I liked this quote because it makes me laugh. They have a word that starts with every letter of the alphabet, and they use them to describe themselves. It was a good part because it is funny. I liked this part of the book.

My favorite part of the book was when Violet thinks of inventions very quickly. She ties up her hair, and in a few minutes, she thinks of an invention they need with the supplies they have. One time she saves them from getting pushed off a cliff. She hops onto a tobaggon, and the other children follow, Then the slide down the frozen waterfall. They make it out in time, just to find more tradegy in front of them. They unfortunatley get separated. Another part in the book that I like was when Quigley, Klaus, and Violet come cross a device that locks the door to VFD. They have to answer three questions to open it. They each use their masteries to help open the lock. Violet used her skills of all the famous scientists, Quigley with his mapping brains, and Klaus who used a book to solve one of the questions. These were my favorite parts.
