S. Theodora refuses to tell anyone what the S in her name stands for. But all of her following statements begin with S, such as 'Standing next to me is my apprentice'. Much like A Series of Unfortunate Events, All the Wrong Questions is set in an amalgamation of ambiguous time periods, likely sometime in the 20th century. Unlike A Series of Unfortunate Events, this series takes place in one primary location, the town of Stain'd-by-the-Sea, instead of changing every book. The town is nearly abandoned and falling apart after the sea was drained away and the ink business and economy collapsed, with the few residents remaining losing hope in their town returning to its glory days. The protagonists of the series are almost completely comprised of children, many of whom were abandoned due to their town's financial collapse; however, due to their age, they are underestimated and not listened to despite their competence. This echoes themes in A Series of Unfortunate Events, where the adults are incompetent and the children are not listened to.Handler once again creates very lovable and memorable characters, this time in the equally memorable location, Stain'd by the Sea. Parental Abandonment: Lemony's "parents" at the beginning of the book were just pretending to be his. He mentions several times that his real parents can't help. As with the originals, Lemony has a way with words. Numerous times I found myself stopping to think about one of his signature offhand comments, sayings that reveal a keen sense of understanding of the world around him. I also enjoyed the little game he plays with the audience, of describing a book plot without actually giving away the title. In this way he often blurs the lines between children's lit and adult fiction, as you being to wonder who this series is truly meant for. The sky was getting lighter and I was whistling the tune Ellington had played me, first on a Hangfire phonograph and then on a music box her father had given her. She had not told me the name of the tune. It was a mystery, like what the S stood for in Theodora's name. I kept walking, with nothing but Solitude for company. 'Solitude' is a fancy name for being all by yourself. It's not a bad name, I thought. Stanza 1/7, sent on 3 October 2012, included the first image below. It reads, " The ink has begun to fade from the sea, / The coffee is starting to sour; / But the question that troubles all business in town is / Who could that be at this hour?"

Interestingly, her first physical appearance in each book of All the Wrong Questions occurs in each novel's Chapter Seven, about the halfway point. Ditto for Hangfire. Subverted at the end, when it turns out Hangfire's face was actually quite familiar, since he was Ellington's father whose picture she carried everywhere.Stanza 2/7, sent on 14 November 2012, included the second image below. It reads, "Why does the librarian weep every night? / Why is the chemist so dour? / Why is the statue on everyone's mind? / Who could that be at this hour?"
