Synopsis
For the first time, the wildly unfortunate Baudelaire orphans find themselves not in the care of a clueless adult, but hiding out in Heimlich Hospital. As the trio relentlessly continues to search for clues that might unlock the mystery of V.F.D., they encounter such terrors as the singing Volunteers Fighting Disease and unnecessary surgery--and discover some very interesting facts about a fire. This is the eighth gloomy title in the popular Series of Unfortunate Events books.
On the run after being falsely accused of murder, the three Baudelaire orphans find themselves in the Heimlich Hospital, with the evil Count Olaf in close pursuit.

Publisher's Note
Dear Reader, Before you throw this awful book to the ground and run as far away from it as possible, you should probably know why. This book is the only one which describes every last detail of the Baudeclaire children's miserable stay at Heimlich Hospital, which makes it one of the most dreadful books in the world. There are many pleasant things to read about, but this books contains none of them. Within its pages are such burdensome details as misleading newspaper headlines, unnecessary surgery, an intercom system, anesthesia, heart-shaped balloons, and some very startling news about such things. I have sworn to research this story, and to write it down as best I can, so I should know that this book is something best left on the ground, where you undoubtedly found it. With alldue respect,
Lemony Snicket
