Violet and Klaus are speeding without brakes down a high mountain in a freak van. The sun is in the claws of Count Olaf, who is taking her at this time in the opposite direction, namely to the very top of the Insidious Mountain. Even if Violet and Klaus manage to escape from almost certain death in a bottomless abyss, how will they protect themselves from many very vicious snow mosquitoes, who like to sting people for no reason? Even if Sunny is not thrown off the cliff by Count Olaf’s vile minions, is it easy for a very little girl to run a household, cook food without fire and at the same time constantly endure humiliation? And most importantly, will the children find the Main Crossroads of the Winds and G.F.D. headquarters?
