Reader, if you have not read the blurb on the back of this book, then you should know that Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire, despite being very intelligent and kind are very unlucky. They are about the unluckiest children to ever exist. Okay, that was exaggerated. But saying this, there is never a happy ending to their stories. No moral, no home to go back to, almost nothing.
There is an evil villain who wants to take the Baudelaire fortune known as Count Olaf. As of now, he has chased them into their kind Uncle Monty's home, into their grammar-obsessed Aunt Josephine's town, and into an optometrist's office, all disguised as different people so no one would believe the three children. As you can tell, he can find them anywhere, anytime.
Though his plans never succeed, that is only because the Baudelaire children are very clever. But though they don't succeed, he is never defeated and always escapes at the last second, as with the case of this story. If you prefer stories with happy endings where the heroes all live happily ever after, you have the choice of putting this book down and picking a different one.
If you continue, you agree that you're willing to go through this.
Violet, Klaus and Sunny lay on the grass in the middle of a forest. But it was strange. They didn't normally sleep on grass. And they felt strange, as well. Violet was the first to wake up. She tried standing, but failed and landed on four paws. "Four paws...?" she asked herself, and looked at her siblings. "We're cats!" she realized. She was a long-furred black she-kit, with her ribbon in her fur. Klaus was a black tom-kit with his glasses, and Sunny was a very small she-kit with light-brown fur, and she had her... actually, she didn't really have anything that would be strange for cats to have.
Violet started to shake her brother, and he almost immediately woke up. "Wha...? Violet, is that yowww-!" he broke off as he realized they were cats too. Sunny had awoken from Klaus's yowl and stared at her siblings, and squeaked in surprise.
