Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's library

Discover what James Petterson called “the world’s most entertaining library” in this action-packed, fun-filled bestseller!

In Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library , we meet Kyle, a boy who is a fanatic for all kinds of games—board games, crossword puzzles, and especially video games—and who lives in the shadow of his two brothers, one an athlete and the other a genius. His idol, Luigi Lemoncello, the most famous, creative, and eccentric game designer, is also responsible for the design of the town's new library. And the best part: Mr. Lemoncello himself will be present at the special and exclusive opening night, to which only twelve children are invited. When Kyle discovers this, he does everything he can and, with a little help from luck, ends up being one of the lucky children who will spend the night in the library full of games.

When dawn breaks, however, all the doors are locked! Now, Kyle and the other kids will have to solve every clue and decipher every riddle to find the secret exit. Kyle realizes that the hard part wasn't attending the library's opening, but getting out of it! Can you figure out how to escape the library?

Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library is a fun and captivating story, appealing to both young and old alike. It's comparable to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory , a classic to this day.
