The Baudelaire orphans need a safe place to stay -- somewhere far away from terrible villains and local police; a quiet refuge where they can find shelter and food, and have a chance to try and unravel the mystery that surrounds them. Given the situation, a nearby hospital will have to do.

If things go well, Violet may be able to use her inventing skills to enjoy the various fascinating equipment found at a hospital. And perhaps Klaus, who enjoys reading a great deal, will come across a piece of information in a library that could change the lives of the Baudelaires forever. And though hospitals are already full of dangerous sharp objects, Sunny's four extraordinary teeth may also come in handy.

Indeed, the hospital may be the safest place the Baudelaires can get to for now. And once they are there, they can only hope that their stay at Heimlich Hospital doesn't prove to be the nastiest in a series of unfortunate events.

About the Author:

Lemony Snicket was born before you were and is likely to die before you as well. He was born in a small town where the inhabitants were suspicious and prone to riot. He grew up near the sea and currently lives beneath it. Until recently, he was living somewhere else. Mr Snicket first received his education from public schools and private tutors, and then vice versa. Early in life, he learned to reupholster furniture, a skill that turned out to be far more important than anyone imagined. He has been hailed as a brilliant scholar, discredited as a brilliant fraud and mistaken for a much taller man on several occasions. A studied expert in rhetorical analysis, Mr Snicket has spent the last several eras researching the travails of the Baudelaire orphans. During his spare time, he gathers evidence and is considered something of an expert by leading authorities. Recently, he had to give up his hobbies due to laws regarding musical performances in mountainous terrain. Lemony Snicket published his first book in 1999 and has not had a good night's sleep since. Mr Snicket is the author of quite a few books, all dreadful, and has been falsely accused of many crimes, all falsely. Once the recipient of several distinguished rewards, he is now an escapee of several indistinguishable prisons. He is widely regarded as one of the most difficult children's authors to capture and imprison. There are thirteen books in the A Series of Unfortunate Events, which should be avoided at all costs. To his horror and dismay, he has no wife or children, only enemies, associates, and the occasional loyal manservant. Lemony Snicket's extended family, if they were alive, would describe him as a distinguished scholar, an amateur connoisseur, and an outright gentleman. Unfortunately this description has been challenged of late, but Egmont Press continues to support his research and writing on the lives of the Baudelaire orphans. As he continues with his investigation, interest in the Baudelaire case has increased. So has his horror. Until recently, he was presumed to be 'presumed dead'. Instead, this 'presumed' presumption wasn't disproved not to be incorrect. Most things written about him are not true, but this is.

From the Back Cover:

Before you throw this awful audio to the ground and run as far away from it as possible, ou should probably know why. This audio is the only one which describes every last detail of the baudelaire children’s miserable stay at Heimlich Hospital, which makes it ont of the most dreadful audios in the world.

There are many pleasant things to listen to, but this audio contains not one of them. Within it are such burdensome details as a suspiecious shop-keeper, unnecessary surgery, an intercom system, anesthesia, heart-shaped balloons, and some very startling news about a fire. Clearly you do not want to hear about such things.

I have sworn to research this story, and to record it as best I can, so I should know that this audio is something best left on the ground, where you undoubtedly found it.
