The Austere Academy by Lemony Snicket 
☀️☀️☀️☀️

Reminiscent of a Roald Dahl tale, the physical comedy and schoolyard setting made this book a joy to read. The friendship formed between the orphans and the Quagmire triplets added a lovely element to the story, and definitely helped to make the ending, which until this point felt obvious and inevitable, interesting again.
