Mr. Lemoncello's Library Olympics

Mr. Lemoncello's Library Olympics

By Chris Grabenstein

I loved this book and I really enjoyed it. The book is about a boy named Kyle Keeley, who in the previous book, won Mr. Lemoncello’s Library Escape game, and is now staring in Lemoncello advertisements. But right after Haley Daley, one of the team members, moves to Hollywood, Mr. Lemoncello anounces that there will be another library game, called The Library Olympics... only this time, it will include kids from all across America, including Marjory, a child prodigy from Michigan. But suddenly, books begin disappearing from the shelf’s, and Mr. Lemoncello looks like he is about ready to give the library up to ‘the League of Library Lovers’ led by millionaire Mrs. Chillington, the mother of a losing competitor. I loved this book. You should defiantly read it.
