The Slippery Slope (1-337)

I have just finished the book The Slippery Slope by Lemony Snicket, a very interesting book in a 13 part series, as this is the 10th book in that series. The general summary of this story is about these kids who were separated from their family (the Baudelaries), as their parents terribly died in a fire. There is a very evil guy, Olaf who is wanting to steal the Baudelaries forutune, as they are incredibly rich.

These Baudelaries go on incredible adventures all over the world. This one particular book takes them to the mountains in which there are very interesting creatures. There are lions trained as detectives, called volunteer feline detectives. There are Snow Scouts who are the soldiers of the mountains who care for the mountain protecting it. This one section below is about some of the interesting creatures living on the mountain.

The Snow Scout who was wearing a sweater instead of a uniform turned his head quickly to the Baudelaries, as if he was going to speak, but Bruce answered first. He said "Years ago, apparently these mountains were crawling with bears. The bears were so intelligent that they were trained as soldiers. But they disappeared and no one knows why." (79)

This section is about when the Baudelaries go on top of the alledged mountain. They are talking to the Snow Scout who is trying to help the Baudelaries achieve their mission of finding information in the wrecked ruins of the VFD headquarters where there is important infomation that they can use to get rid of Olaf, and find out about their past.
