The beginning of this book seems to be boring but in the middle it really started to grab my attention. I personnally love puzzeles and adventures. This book gives me exactly what I love. It also reminds me of the movie 'A night in the museum'.

I really want to read this book!!!!!! It looks super good!!!!!! I really just want to go and get this book!!!! Can't wait to read this book!!!!!!! I read the preview. I WANT IT SO BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your going to want to hear this review and then read this book. The book I read was called "Mr.lemoncello's LIBRARY" it is by Chris Grabentein, and it is great. The settings of this book are the library and sometimes the school. The library is the most common place. So this kid named Kyle Keeley loved Mr.lemoncello's games and books so he decided he wanted to enter a contest to win a trip to his library. What you have to do to win is write an essay so that's what Kyle did. When the winners were announced Kyle ended up being one of them. What he doesn't know is that he will have to try to escape and deal with other kids in the library that try to cheat and go the easy way, that is the turning point in this book. The antagonist of this story in my opinion is all the other kids because most of them want to do Different things. The protagonist is Kyle. There are a few parts when Kyle figures out something important like ways to get out of the library and parts of the library like the windows that don't open and those were important things to figure out because he was trying solve the conflict. I liked this book because it had lots of details and it wasn't boring. I recommend and this book to anyone who likes adventurous books. I recommend this to 6 grade and up because it has some difficult words that some kids wouldn't be able to sound out. I hope you try this book out.
This is an amazing book filled excitement, adventure and trivia! Join Kyle Keeley as he tries to ... ESCAPE FROM MR. LEMONCELLO'S LIBRARY!!
Kyle wrote an essay that allowed him to be one of the first kids to visit the library. In the library they play games. The game that they played was called escape from mr lemoncellos library. They all tried to escape the library. You cant exit the library by going out of the emergency door or the entrance door. Kyle and his group find a way to escape from mr lemoncellos library.

One of my favorite books!
this book is a mystery and has amazing puzzles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great interesting book. This book has puzzles and riddles that you can solve along with the characters in the book. So mind-boggling and funny. Thank you Chris Grabenstein for making my Saturday night a good one, full of books and hot chocolate.
It is a good book about kids playing a big, real life version of a board game by Mr. Lemoncello, a famous game maker. The grand prize of escaping the library is becoming famous with Lemoncello and starring in commercials.
