About the book
The Grim Grotto is the eleventh book in Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. Having lost contact with Quigley Quagmire at the Mortmain Mountains, the Baudelaire orphans come upon the submarine Queequeg and are welcomed aboard by its crew: Captain Widdershins, his stepdaughter Fiona, and a cook the siblings recognize from their time at the lumbermill. The captain, who knew the children's parents, wants to reach the Hotel Denouement but first needs a mysterious sugar bowl, said to lie in the Gorgonian Grotto, where a dangerous fungus grows, while a submarine they fear belongs to Count Olaf lurks nearby.
