The book is a kind of book that is really
unfortunate, but if you knew anything about Lemony Snicket then this
is a thing that you would already know. The Austere Academy is
a mix of running hundreds upon hundreds of laps around a big, glowing
circle until sunrise, getting your silverware taken away if you do
something wrong, a teacher who will not stop eating bananas, a teacher
who says to measure things (like a pencil, a ribbon, etc.) 24/7, and
an incredibly annoying vice principle. So as you can see there is
this and much more in the wondrous the book, The Austere Academy.
P.S. This book is really sad so if you don’t want
to read it, then don’t!

| Reviewer: Joe K. '09 The
Austere Academy is about three orphans named Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire and their
experiences at school. Their parents had died in a fire and left a huge amount of money
for the Baudelaire children to inherit when Violet is old enough. The Baudelaire
children are sent to Prufrock Preparatory Boarding School. When the Baudelaires get to
school they find out that the vice principal is crazy. The Baudelaires make new
friends with the Quagmire triplets (the third died in a fire) and they are also
orphans. But Count Olaf is constantly following the Baudelaires to try to steal
their fortune.
The book is a mystery book and is also funny. It will grab
your attention and leave you in suspense. I recommend this book to boys and girls
who like mystery and adventure.
