[Review] Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library by Chris Grabenstein

Author: Chris Grabenstein
Publisher: Yearling Adventure
Published: June 24th 2014
Pages: 336p
ISBN: 9780307931474

Books.  Library.  Puzzle.

I love each one of them. How about combining them into a story? It would be fascinating and Chris Grabenstein successfully did it through this 336 pages. I am thrilled about how Chris put all things together in an ingenious way. Kyle Keeley is 12 years old and crazy about games especially anything that came out from Mr. Lemoncello’s imagination factory. He grew up with them and everyone in the family loves it. So when he heard about Alexandriavilles’ new public library that Mr. Lemoncello’s was helping build, he was so excited to see the place. In addition to the good news, he found out about the library lock-in event for the winner of essay competition “Why I am Excited about the New Public Library”. Mr. Lemoncello will pick twelve 12 years old kids as winners and they will get to go to the library lock-in on friday night and spend the night in the new library before anyboday else gets to see the place. Are you picturing it now? A night surrounded by books in a marvelous library designed by the famous game maker ever? Sound interesting huh?! And for a mysterious reason, Kyle won.
