This is awesome And it is for you if yur reading this
I finished reading this book, and it is amazing! I am so happy - there are other books in the series. This long story is about Mr. Lemoncello, who is a multimillionare, who makes obstacles in a sort of carnival-like way to pass! I am going to read the other books in the series if I have time. I borrowed this book from my friend, because I know (for a fact) that she won this from her old library from a bookmark contest.
Escape from Mr. Lemonchello's Library is a very interesting book. For example, some kids who won an essay contest, takes part in Mr. Lemoncello's new library. They play tons of games... but the last game was made for Mr. Lemoncello's birthday. The last game they played was Escape From Mr. Lemoncello's Library, where you're supposed to find an exit without triggering any fire alarms. My favorite part of this book is when Kyle does an extreme challenge ( which is a challenge thats really hard. If you succeed, you win a bonus clue. If you didn't complete the challenge, you are disqualified). My favorite character is Kyle Keeley. He is the protagonist of the book. In the beginning he didn't take part of the essay contest, but when he is reminded about it, he changes his mind. He writes a essay that is about 3 sentences long about balloons but still was one of the winners. One of the winners was Charles Chillington. He says he always wins. But even though Kyle doubts he going to escape the library before the deadline of the game, he still pushes through with the help of his teammates. I recommend this book to people who love adventures. The game was basically a hard puzzle with clues along the way. So, I also recommend this book to people who are smart. P.S. try and figure out the challenge at the end.
This is an amazing book because when Kyle is picked to go to a sleepover in a library that just opened that's where the competition start. All the doors are locked and then you have to find a way out of the library with going through the fire escape and finding clues in books and more. This book has some tremendously amazing plots and it's almost like you're in the plot and the amazing twists! All my friends agreed it was a marvelous book!
I really love this book! I'm really surprised that Kyle's email got sent because it was overdue and it didn't get through! Kyle got picked and a sublime time in the sleepover at the library. I got really exited when the two boys grabbed the same book leading to the clue! I think Kyle is really generous when he shares the money with his family! I think this is an inspiring book and it gives you many juicy plots and twists in the story!
