Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library by Chris Grabenstein

5.0

This book was a joy to read! It was like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory meets The Gollywhopper Games. Author Chris Grabenstein has created a delightfully fun book for children. the eccentric game inventor Mr. Lemoncello has designed an adventure for a group of twelve year old children in his hometown. Their new public library, state of the art and full of exciting technology and twists, is scheduled to open on Mr. Lemoncello's birthday. There is a contest to have the children escape from the library within 24 hours to win the grand prize. Kyle Keeley finds himself selected as one of the finalists and is the main character. He encounters some new friends and discovers that his own love of books begins to blossom along the way. This book contains so many literary references and even a hidden puzzle that will be great fun for young readers. Highly recommend!
