波特萊爾大遇險7─邪惡的村子
　　命運多舛的波特萊爾三姊弟，經過了幾任憋腳的監護人照料後，竟然成了響譽全國的麻煩製造者，再也沒有親戚敢收留他們；而為了響應政府的「養育一個小孩，大家一起來」的領養計畫，波先生這次竟然將他們送到神祕的V.F.D.鎮，讓幾百個村人共同擔任波特萊爾家的監護人。
　　V.F.D.鎮到底是個什麼樣的地方？為什麼會有滿天飛舞的烏鴉？為什麼憑空會飄下神祕的詩句？為什麼站上講台的人卻沒有發言權？V.F.D.鎮是否就隱藏著夸麥爾兄妹口中的V.F.D.祕密？這許許多多的為什麼，在波特萊爾三姊弟的肚子裡不停地翻攪著……

Dear Reader,
　　You have undoubtedly picked up this book by mistake, so please put it down. Nobody in their right mind would read this particular book about the lives of Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire on purpose, because each dismal moment of their stay in the village of V.F.D. has been faithfully and dreadfully recorded in these pages.
　　I can think of no single reason why anyone would want to open a book containing such unpleasant matters as migrating crows, an angry mob, a newspaper headline, the arrest of innocent people, the Deluxe Cell, and some very strange hats.
　　It is my solemn and sacred occupation to research each detail of the Baudelaire children's lives and write them all down, but you may prefer to do some other solemn and sacred thing, such as reading another book instead.
With all due respect,
Lemony Snicket
