The Slippery Slope and The Grim Grotto by Lemony Snicket
The Slippery Slope and The Grim Grotto are books 10 and 11 in the Series of Unfortunate events. These are two of the better books in the series (see my other review for details) with more character involvement and plots that rest on the many people and the mysterious VFD rather on just mean things that people can do to each other.
I haven't found it necessary to read all the books in order but it is important to read the Slippery Slope before the Grim Grotto because many things are alluded to but not explained from book to book.
Again I note that hardback list price is $11.99 (sometimes Powells and Amazon have them on sale) but I got them for $7.47 each at COSTCO. Scholastic books also sells paperback editions.
