For every day they are absent, they must buy Nero a bag of candy and watch him eat it. They also learn about Nero’s strange rules for the students at the school – all students are required to listen to Nero play the violin for six hours every day.
The Baudelaires find the Orphans’ Shack in dilapidated condition, with fungus on the ceiling, old wallpaper on the walls, and crabs crawling all over the floor. Since baby Sunny is too young to attend classes, she will be working for the school as a secretary. Nero then tells the children that they will be living in the Orphans’ Shack because they do not have parental permission to sleep in the dormitories.
Nero, who is very arrogant, welcomes them to the school and explains that the academy’s advanced computer system will help keep Count Olaf, the children’s devious enemy, far away from them. The school’s motto is Memento Mori, which is Latin for “Remember You Will Die.” Upon entering the school, the Baudelaires are mocked by a rude girl named Carmelita Spats, who calls them “cakesniffers.” The children go to Vice Principal Nero’s office. Poe, the children’s guardian, takes them to a boarding school called Prufrock Preparatory School. Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire are orphans who lost their parents in a mysterious house fire. The novel, along with the other books in the series, has been adapted into a Netflix television series of the same name. The book was published in 2000 and has received mostly positive reviews. At school, they befriend another pair of orphans whose parents died under similar circumstances and try to escape Count Olaf, the main antagonist of the series, who is disguised as a teacher. The novel continues the adventures of the three Baudelaire orphans as they are sent to a boarding school run by bizarre characters. The Austere Academy is the fifth novel in Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events book series.
