Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library / Chris Grabenstein / 291 pages

"Spending time in your local public library can be very rewarding."  This is book obviously written by a bibliophile for bibliophiles...and non-bibliophiles.  Kyle Keeley is a gamer.  Its the only way he can compete with his two brothers - one a total jock and the other a braniac.  When he discovers that Mr. Lemoncello, the world's most famous gamemaker and designer of the town's new library, is sponsoring an invitation-only lock-in in the new library, Kyle is determined to be there.  How he qualifies and succeeds is a tale sure to please.  Filled with suspense, references to books encased in wily dialogue, clever enumeration and elucidation of the Dewey Decimal System, and important life lessons, Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library is a must read!!   Great read-aloud!


The book jacket says that Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library is "like the Hunger Games, but without the bows and arrows."
