The Penultimate Peril by Lemony Snicket

After any harrowing struggle, it is nice to consider checking into a hotel 
for a rest. In fact, this might be just the break Violet, Klaus, and Sunny 
Baudelaire could use after their wearying deep-sea adventure.

A hotel can be a good choice for any family vacation. With so many floors, 
such a variety of rooms, and a curious array of guests, spending time in the 
safety of the right hotel can be the perfect learning environment for 
children of any age. A keen researcher like Klaus, an adept inventor like 
Violet, and a sharp-toothed culinary master like Sunny are all sure to find 
engaging diversions during their stay. 

Regardless of how they pass their time while at a hotel, the three siblings 
will be sure to take in all the interesting sights and sounds -- and write 
them down -- just in case this episode turns out to be the darkest yet in a 
series of unfortunate events.
