(2) 4-6 All the Wrong Questions series. Illustrated by Seth. In his third adventure, twelve-year-old Lemony Snicket, apprentice investigator, tackles a series of arsons in the economically depressed and mysterious town of Stain'd-by-the-Sea. Clues of the gray-matter sort (such as anagrams) combine with escapes, attacks, cliffhangers, and looming bad guys to keep the whole crazy plot buoyant. Film noir and children's literature references, from Patricia Highsmith to Beatrix Potter, support the good-natured satire.
