Dear Reader,
Like handshakes, house pets, or raw carrots, 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.In order to spare you any further repulsion, it would be best not to mention any of the unpleasant details of this story, particularly a secret message, a toboggan, a deceitful map, a swarm of snow gnats, a scheming villain, a troupe of organized youngsters, 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 your-self to such things, and you might instead dedicate yourself to letting this slippery book slip from your hands into a nearby trash receptacle, or deep pit.
With all due respect,
Lemony Snicket

In The Slippery Slope, the lines between right and wrong, and heroes and villains, become increasingly blurred for Violet, Klaus, and Sunny. In your own life, have you ever found yourself in a situation where the right path felt just as uncertain as the wrong one?

Consider the concept of V.F.D. and the idea of being a "volunteer." How does this book challenge our traditional understandings of what it means to do good versus simply belonging to a faction?
