Poison for Breakfast (MG)

This is a book both like and unlike other Lemony Snicket books you might have read in the past.  It is philosophical but in a way I think most readers will be alright with.  As the title state he ate poison for breakfast and is now processing and understanding why one would do that and following the clues to who would do that to him and why.  Like I said not entirely the same but not entirely different either, but well worth a try, especially if you are a mystery junky like me.
