Book Synopsis



"Snicket fans will love this book."―Kirkus Reviews, starred review

New York Times bestselling author Lemony Snicket sheds light on the way bad moods come and go.

Once there was a stick and a bad mood.
The stick was on the ground,

and the bad mood was with a girl named Curly.

Lemony Snicket offers a refreshing and hilarious look at the ways in which a bad mood wreaks havoc as it moves from person to person, leaving an unexpected trail of surprise in its wake: opportunities for laughter, forgiveness and even love.

From a bestselling author and an acclaimed artist comes a witty and wise take on the emotional forces that impact our lives.
