Description:
The Baudelaires need a safe place to stay - somewhere far away from terrible villains and local police. A quiet refuge where misfortune never visits. Might Heimlich Hospital be just the place? In Lemony Snicket?s eighth ghastly instalment in A Series of Unfortunate Events, I?m sorry to say that the
