Editor's Note:
La vie des enfants Baudelaire démarre bien mal... Tout commence le jour où leurs parents disparaissent dans l'incendie de leur maison laissant leurs trois enfants à la tête d'une immense fortune. Et comme un malheur n'arrive jamais seul, les voilà confiés à leur oncle, le Comte Olaf, qui déploiera toutes les ruses pour s'emparer de leur richesse. Il faudra encore plus de malices aux trois enfants pour déjouer les tours pendables de cet étrange aristocrate... Pas de temps morts dans ce premier tome des désastreuses aventures des orphelins Baudelaire. Pas de temps non plus pour s'appesantir sur le triste sort des enfants. La place est à l'action et à la réflexion. Il faudra faire preuve de beaucoup d'intelligence pour se sortir des moments difficiles. Heureusement Violette, Klaus et Prunille ne manquent pas d'astuce ! Violette, l'aînée, a quatorze ans et adore les sciences. Elle a toujours une nouvelle invention en préparation. Le second, Klaus, dévore les livres et, à douze ans, il a déjà engrangé un savoir impressionnant. Enfin, la petite Prunille, "pas plus haute qu'une botte", utilise ses quatre dents pour mordre tout ce qui passe... Le monde vu avec des yeux d'enfants, c'est encore le meilleur moyen de le comprendre. Les enfants à partir de onze ans l'ont bien compris puisque les Orphelins Baudelaire ont déjà détrôné plusieurs fois Harry Potter des meilleures ventes aux États-Unis. Pas de fantastique ni de sorcellerie pourtant, les aventures des enfants Baudelaire se déroulent dans une époque qui n'est plus la nôtre mais ils nous en apprennent long sur la vie, sans morales ni leçons. C'est un plaisir de les suivre même si leur vie est loin d'être rose, le style de Lemony Snicket est toujours subtil et plein d'humour et rappelle un peu Roald Dahl dans James et la grosse pêche. Il y a fort à parier que Lemony Snicket deviendra rapidement un classique de la littérature jeunesse ! À partir de 11 ans. --Nadia Krovnikoff
