National Geographic Kids (NGK) reporter Dylan interviews author Lemony Snicket (also known as Daniel Handler (DH)).

READ IF YOU DARE
Tell me about the latest book.
It's called The Carnivorous Carnival. Mr. Snicket informed me that the Baudelaire orphans find themselves in disguise at a carnival. It sounds like a most unpleasant book, so I'm not planning on reading it.

CALAMITOUS CURIOSITY
Why is Mr. Snicket so interested in the Baudelaire orphans?
He wanted to make sure that people knew just how miserable and sad these children's lives are.

RESCUE ATTEMPT
If Mr. Snicket could send a superhero to help the orphans, who would it be, and why?
Maybe Wonder Woman. She had that lasso that forced people to tell the truth. The Baudelaire orphans would like to find out a lot, so a truth lasso would be quite handy.

IF THEY GROW UP
What careers do you think Violet, Klaus, and Sunny will choose when they grow up?
With her mechanical mind, Violet might end up being an engineer or some sort of scientist. With his interest in research, Klaus could be a journalist like you or a professor or perhaps even a lawyer. Lately Sunny seems more interested in cooking—maybe it's because she's had so much trouble finding food that she enjoys eating with her sharp teeth.
