This was an amazing book! I just loved to sit write down and read it. There are some words, like stupid or loser that are mentioned in this book, but overall it is a great book. I love the library!

This book is amazing!! I love how it is a library but it is also a magical place! It is kind of cool how they have to solve puzzles to get out! You should definitely read this book and the other books in the series.
i want to read this book
This was such a good book! I really wish my library was like the one in the book! :) It was so thrilling, yet added many aspects of everyday life. I highly recommend this to all readers out there!
Kyle is a huge fan of Mr. Lemoncello and of all things games and puzzles. He is thrilled when he is chosen as one of the twelve kids chosen to get to sleepover in the brand new library that Mr. Lemoncello built. Secret puzzles and games that lead to a hidden escape route (with a prize!) await. This was a really fun book that I would recommend to elementary grade and up. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.
OMG YES I FINALLY FOUND THE PAGE. This is an amazing book about a boy named Kyle Keeley and a competition by the eccentric billionaire Luigi Lemoncello. ALSO READ THE SECOND BOOK I DONT HAVE TIME TO WRITE A GOOD REVIEW BYE AND ALSO SPOILER KYLE WINS YEET XD
This is a really good book. I read it more than once and I really recommend this book. The second time I read it was after watching the movie. The book is way better than the movie.
Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library is an amazing book. These kids have to play this game-to escape from the library. They must solve all sorts of riddles and team up in order to be the ones to escape. The colorful characters, funny humor and tense pressure makes this book a must read.
I liked Mr. Lemoncello's Library because it contains lots of riddles and puzzles to solve. There is a rivalry between the two main characters, Kyle Keeley and Charles Chillington. Kyle plays by the rules and is fair, but Charles turns out to be a bully and cheats all the time. There is a lot of suspense and twists and turns in the competition to see who can figure out how to get out of this high tech library.
I love this book! I would so love to be in this library. It reminded me of the Wonka factory, but with books. It was really full of adventure and I liked it a lot.
