Read Lemony Snicket #1 online free – for a limited time
Like Lemony Snicket? Or haven’t read the Series of Unfortunate Events, but want to? You’re in luck. For a limited time, you can read the entire first book, A Series of Unfortunate Events #1: The Bad Beginning, for free online.
And HarperCollins and the author have come up with a great quote to get kids interested:
“My book is free? Lock it up at once!”
—Lemony Snicket, regarding the new free online edition of THE BAD BEGINNING
It made me laugh–and piqued my interest in checking out the book. How about you?
Personally, I think a free ebook that you could download and keep on your device would be nicer, but this is almost as good. A peek into the first book in the series–available online. Check it out!

I’m sorry I can’t do that, Katelyn; that’s illegal. BUT you can get it from your library for free. And likely the ebook is well priced.
