*"Full of Snicket's trademark droll humor and maddeningly open-ended, this will have readers clamoring for volume two." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review), "The sort of goodie savored by brainy kids who love wordplay, puzzles and plots that zing from point A to B by way of the whole alphabet." -- The Washington Post, *"Full of Snicket's characteristic wit and word play . . . this book belongs in all collections."-- VOYA (starred review), *"Full of Snicket's trademark droll humor and maddeningly open-ended, this will have readers clamoring for volume two."-- Publishers Weekly (starred review), "Demands to be read twice: once for the laughs and the second time for the clues."-- The Boston Globe, Praise for the All the Wrong Questions series: "A Pink Panther-esque page turner...exceptionally literary and entirely singular. Characterized by linguistic playfulness and an appreciation for the archaic, "Who Could That Be at This Hour?" is frequently laugh-out-loud hilarious...illustrations by celebrated cartoonist Seth only add to the throwback gumshoe vibe of this outrageous, long-overdue, middle-grade follow-up series from a truly beloved narrator." -- Los Angeles Times, Praise for the All the Wrong Questions series: "A Pink Panther-esque page turner...exceptionally literary and entirely singular.

Best to start at the beginning, but the whole's an enjoyable ride."-- Kirkus reviews, *"Full of Snicket's characteristic wit and word play . . . this book belongs in all collections." -- VOYA (starred review), * "Will thrill fans of the author's earlier works and have even reluctant readers turning pages with the fervor of seasoned bookworms.
