# 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.
