This book was awesome! The Welcome To Wonderland series that this author wrote was good but this book was so much better! It was about a boy named Kyle that got to go to the new library early, but now he has to escape the library! I loved this book because I liked the characters, the storyline and pretty much every single part of it. I would totally recommend this book for everyone!

This is a great and exciting book. I love to read and this is a book about a library. I recommend this book to everyone who LOVES to read.
This is such a wonderful story. It is filled with puzzles, books, and games. It is one of the best books I have ever read. Kyle and 11 other kids are chosen to do an escape from the library game. It is extremely funny and educating. I definitely recommend it.
This is such a creative book! I think the idea of it, how it's an escape/mystery book, is really cool. I like mystery books, but most of them are sort of creepy, so I think that that makes this book sort of unique. I would recommend it.
