波特萊爾大遇險10-絕命的山崖
如果你發現自己被困在一輛轟隆隆往山崖直奔而下的蓬車上時,該怎麼辦?波特萊爾家的姊姊和弟弟,就是在這樣一輛危險的蓬車上,除非他們找到方法停下車來,否則就要葬身山谷,絕命於此了!
如果快要摔死山谷了還不夠悲慘,那讓我提醒你,他們的妹妹桑妮並不在蓬車上——她被歐拉夫伯爵抓走了。雖然紫兒和克勞斯已經自顧不暇了,但還是十分擔心歐拉夫會對他們的小妹妹做出什麼樣的可怕事情來?
紫兒和克勞斯能找回桑妮嗎?他們能揭開VFD的祕密嗎?他們以為雙亡的父母是否還有一人活著?波特萊爾三姊弟是否能逃離歐拉夫伯爵、逃離絕命的山崖呢?

Dear Reader,
Like handshakes, house pets, or raw carrots, many things are preferable when not slippery. Unfortunately, in this miserable volume, I am afraid that Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire run into more than their fair share of slipperiness during their harrowing journey up - and down - a range of strange and distressing mountains.
In order to spare you any further repulsion, it would be best not to mention any of the unpleasant details of this story, particularly a secret message, a toboggan, a deceitful trap, a swarm of snow gnats, a scheming villain, a troupe of organized youngsters, a covered casserole dish, and a surprising survivor of a terrible fire.
Unfortunately, I have dedicated my life to researching and recording the sad tale of the Baudelaire Orphans. There is no reason for you to dedicate yourself to such things, and you might instead dedicate yourself to letting this slippery book slip from your hands into a nearby trash receptacle, or deep pit.
With all due respect,
Lemony Snicket
