A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Miserable Mill (Snicket)

A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Miserable Mill, Lenomy Snicket (aka Daniel Handler), 2000

Another day, another destination, another guardian, another run-in with Count Olaf.
This book has a building shaped like an eye and a doctor named Orwell. The latter pun will go over kids' heads, but the former will remind them that Count Olaf has a tattoo of an eye on his ankle.

The eye motif really gets going in this book, and it isn't until several books from now that you find out that everything you thought you knew about the eyes is totally wrong.

Not terrible, but you wonder how much further Snicket can go with this.
