simplistic sophistication: layers of meaning
Snicket's Series serves as an ideal example of quality, teachable adolescent literature because of its distinct flexibility. The text is built upon many layers of meaning: a developing or disengaged reader will find just as much engagement with the text as a critical, experienced reader. This layering makes the series ideal for differentiation within the classroom.
