In the book Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library, 12 kids have been selected to go to a library built by Mr. Lemoncello, the master game maker. They are locked in the library as part of a game and have to escape the library to win the game. This book is very thrilling and contains puzzles you can solve, so you should get your puzzle solving skills out when reading this book!
This book has a lot of trivia in it. This book is not my favorite book of all time, I mostly prefer the baby - sitters club books
*THIS IS JUST MY OPINION* No offense, but I think this is a great book even if there is a lot of trivia, In my eyes I don't like The Babysitters Club
I read the book because it was a required thing so that I can get into sixth grade and...I didn't enjoy it that much. Kyle was grounded for a week because he broke a window during a board game. He was upset about but his best friends mention about Mr. Lemoncello's library. it's sorta like a game show but 12, 12 year olds are stuck in Mr. Lemoncello's library and they have to solves puzzles and riddles around the library to escape. So his best friend mentions that there will be games at the library but Kyle thought it was video games. And to get into Mr Lemoncello's library they had to write a good essay and Mr. Lemoncells himself will be judging them. Then it get's kinda good but I won't spoil it all. But if you like adventure then you should try out this book.
I read this entire book but so far i love it!
It's so funny one time a read a third of the book non stop it's so good
I read this book and it is AWSOME!!!!! Here is what it is about:so a guy named Mr.Lemenchello started this great library because it had all kinds of books and there were just a lot of awesome stuff. Some kids have to escape the library and it proves a lot harder than it seems. They can not go through the front door or fire exits. If you read this book make sure to check out the second book!!! The second book is called Mr.Lemenchello's library Olympics. Love,love,love them!!!
i am reading this book
In this book you get to see a new library created by Mr.Lemoncello. With holograms and and puzzles to find your way out! I would recommend this book if you want an adventurous and fun book!
This is the first book in the Lemoncello series, and it was so great I reread this book multiple times. This book is about Mr.Lemoncelo, a rich billionaire who made a hight tech library that 12 kids have to escape from. Kyle, the main character, facing many challenges in order to escape the library, such as Charles, the bully, and the enemy. Can Kyle win the grand prize and escape the library? I loved this book. I hope you guys love this book as much as I did!
