Released Information:
- June AuthorTracker E-mail: "The only other student I know in this class is O., who is nothing but an annoyance. As I write this, he is filling his notebook with anagrams of obscene words."
- July AuthorTracker E-mail: "a note passed in class, a startling telegram, a coded sonnet, and a desperate plea for assistance between Snicket and Beatrice."
- Harper Collin's Book Blast Information:
Code Class is boring.
Long ago, Lemony Snicket was an assistant obituary spell-checker.
Surprisingly, Beatrice was 10 years old, or more likely, Lemony and Beatrice met when they were 10.
Punch-out letters should be removed and arranged to reveal at least one important secret message, then stored in one of two hidden file folders.
Root-beer floats matter a great deal.

Fan:
Daniel - I had been waiting for months and finally the day arrived. It was September 4th and I rushed into town early to buy a brand new book; The Beatrice Letters. What I didn't expect was how big it was, more than A4 size, which won't fit with all the other books, but looks great nevertheless. I read it when I got home and finished within the hour, and thought it was really good. The inside layout is good, how there are two file pockets, and in one a double-sided poster that holds endless clues to The End. The poster is a great size to hang on a wall or door and is very mysterious. The book itself was quite hard at some times to understand, it gives you the feeling where you need to read it a couple of times to get the idea. It's great that a couple of mysteries are solved, seeing as in the previous twelve books hardly any big secrets have been discovered. There are several cut-out letters that spell an anagram when re-arranged, and all this sort of stuff is really fun to try to do. All in all it is greatly arranged, a good size, looks great and seems confusing at first but definitley becomes clearer as you read it more and more times. I think any ASoUE fan should buy it, simply because those disappointed with the previous books which don't reveal any secrets, will certainly be pleased with this if secrets and mysteries becoming clearer is what they want. |
