三民網路書店波特萊爾大遇險4－糟糕的工廠
波特萊爾三姊弟在逃離了斷腸湖後，被丟到了陰暗又恐怖的鄉下小鎮，收養他們的是一位自私又無理的鋸木場老闆，不僅強迫他們在木材廠裡工作，午餐還只餵他們吃口香糖。悲慘的波特萊爾一家人，每天就過著腰痠背痛、飢餓無力的生活，但歐拉夫伯爵卻沒有趁著他們手臂虛弱的大好時機，來綁架他們。這真是太奇怪了，難道歐拉夫伯爵完全消失了！？
就在他們以為自己的命運，終於要變好的時候，克勞斯變得不對勁了，他到處製造災害，還忘了自己是誰。波特萊爾兩姊妹到底會想出什麼法子，來解救她們兄弟的困境呢？

Dear Reader,
I hope, for your sake, that you have not chosen to read this book because you are in the mood for a pleasant experience. If this is the case, I advise you to put this book down instantaneously, because of all the books describing the unhappy lives of the Baudelaire orphans, The Miserable Mill might be the unhappiest yet. Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire are sent to Paltryville to work in a lumber mill, and they find disaster and misfortune lurking behind every log.
The pages of this book, I'm sorry to inform you, contain such unpleasantries as a giant pincher machine, a bad casserole, a man with a cloud of smoke where his head should be, a hypnotist, a terrible accident resulting in injury, and coupons.
I have promised to write down the entire history of these three poor children, but you haven't, so if you prefer stories that are more heartwarming, please feel free to make another selection.
With all due respect,
Lemony Snicket
