Diving into deadly waters...
The world's largest reef exhibit is coming to the Bayport Aquarium. Frank and Joe are stoked for the unveiling of Predator Reef, a three-hundred-thousand-gallon tank that houses small sharks, rays, and thousands of colorful fish. It's also home to the aquarium's new mascot, Captain Hook - a rare and valuable, five-hundred-pound, giant sea turtle.
But instead of a big reveal, the boys get a big disappointment: Captain Hook has gone missing, along with loads of other exotic fish. Is the aquarium the target of a sinister smuggling ring? And can Frank and Joe do damage control before they're trapped in a deadly underwater maze... with no way out?

Dear Listener,
Like handshakes or housepets, many things are preferable when not slippery. Unfortunately, in this miserable volume, I am afraid that Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire run into more than their fair share of slipperiness during their harrowing journey up -- and down -- a range of strange and distressing mountains.
It would be best not to mention any of the unpleasant details of this story, particularly a secret message, a swarm of snow gnats, a scheming villain, a covered casserole dish, and a surprising survivor of a terrible fire.
Unfortunately, I have dedicated my life to researching and recording the sad tale of the Baudelaire Orphans. There is no reason for you to dedicate yourself to such things, and you might instead dedicate yourself to letting this slippery audio slip from your hands into a nearby trash receptacle, or deep pit.
With all due respect,
Lemony Snicket

Dear Diary…
To celebrate her birthday, George invited Bess and me on her dream trip: a three-day bike tour around the beautiful Mystic Lake Park. I’m not exactly outdoorsy, but I was excited to explore the gorgeous landscape by day and camp under the stars at night.
But the tour has been nothing short of a nightmare! First, someone stole our tents. Then our trip leader, Caitlin, vanished overnight. Now we can’t find the way back to civilization, and no one in our group can agree on the next move. I’m starting to think someone is out to sabotage this trip. Could it be one of our fellow cyclists?
