The Ersatz Elevator Paperback

In The Ersatz Elevator, the Baudelaire orphans find themselves under the dubious care of their new guardians, Jerome and Georgina Squalor, a wealthy but utterly self-absorbed couple obsessed with all things "in." Living in their enormous penthouse apartment, the children discover a secret elevator shaft and the ominous presence of Count Olaf lurking in yet another ridiculous disguise, this time as the building's new doorman. As Violet, Klaus, and Sunny try to decipher the Squalors' strange rules and uncover Olaf's latest scheme to steal their fortune, they realize that even in the most luxurious settings, danger and misfortune are never far behind.
