# of pages: 190
The Reptile Room by Lemony Snicket begins with the three
Baudelaire orphans: Violet, Klaus and Sunny traveling to their new guardian's
home. Throughout the 190 pages, the kids are really worried about how their new
guardian is going to be like. Dr. Montgomery Montgomery, a herpetologist, or
snake expert turns out to be much more than the children expected. He has a job
for each of the children as they get ready for their snake-finding expedition
to Peru. But everything changed when Dr. Montgomery assistant named Stephano plan
on going to Peru with them. Despite his lack of hair, shaved eyebrow and beard,
the children know that he is really Count Olaf, their evil relative who is
after their fortune. Stephano then killed Dr. Montgomery to go to Peru with
them alone without anyone knowing. But at the end, he got caught by Mr. Poe (Mr.
and Mrs. Baudelaire friend) but escaped again.
