Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
In the ninth title in Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, The Carnivorous Carnival, the Baudelaire siblings are falsely accused of murder. On the run from Count Olaf (the real killer), the three disguise themselves in Madame Lulu's House of Freaks; Violet and Klaus masquerade as the two-headed Beverly/Elliot; Sunny poses as Chabo the Wolf Baby. Ages 10-up.

From School Library Journal
Grade 4-7-This installment in the woeful tale of the unlucky Baudelaire orphans takes them (via the trunk of Count Olaf's car, unbeknownst to him) to the Caligari Carnival in the middle of the hinterlands. Madame Lulu has used her crystal ball in the past to help him find the children after their narrow escapes, but this time he also wants her to discern the truth about whether or not either of their parents is still alive. Violet, Klaus, and Sunny disguise themselves as freaks so that they can stay at the carnival and hopefully get to the crystal ball before the Count does. They suffer the indignation of performing in their new roles, face off a bloodthirsty mob, and escape from a pit of hungry lions. New and deviously entertaining characters are added to the cast, including Kevin the ambidextrous man, Colette the contortionist, and Hugo the hunchback. The humor is as sharp as ever, the suspense will keep readers at the edge of their seats, and the cliff-hanger ending will make them eagerly await the next episode.

A Really Good Book - TRUST ME,
By Patrick S.-the book expert (Walnut Creek, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Carnivorous Carnival (Hardcover)
I am a huge lemony snicket fan. if u are u probably have alrady got this book. but even if you aren't you should still buy the book. lemony snicket makes it so good you can hardly put it down. it is much different from the rest of the books in the series. But theyre really good alredy. Also for the LS fans who ars dying for the 10th,thats called the slppery slope. also, expect to see a movie on the first book in 2003. the book is full of twists and turns. and,alexander, if you read this, I'll expect you to read the whole other 8 books first. in summmary, buy this book if you know whats good for you(and the other 8 as well).

The Series of Unfortunate Events,
By Lea (Marlton, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Carnivorous Carnival (Hardcover)
These books were the best books I've ever read!!! They always keep you guessing about what will happen next. These books are not like any other books. Instead of always being happy and fake the books are more like really life--except worse. I have read from 1-8 and they are all very good. These books are all like a big mystery. You should definetaly read them.P.S.---if i could i would give it 100 stars!!

one of th best,
By mike (SaN BrUnO, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Series Of Unfortunate Events #9: The Carnivorous Carnival Cd (Audio CD)
The Carnivorous Carnival is definently one of the best Lemony Snicket books i have ever read. This time the kids hitch a ride in the back off Count Olafs car to the Hinterlands. I the story the kids desquise themselves from him as freaks. Sunny dresses up as a wolf baby and Violet and Klaus dress as a two headed person. throughout the story the kids end up finding out something they really want to know but dont find out if it is 100% true. the end of this story is the most sad of them all. so i think that yu should read the book to find out what turns out to happen in the end.
