my 9 year old daughter had to read this book. She had clues to find along the way on a scavenger hunt paper the teacher assigned. Well not thinking we did not cross reference the paper while reading the book. Now all done trying to back track has become difficult. some lil things they are asking is what is the how much is the copy machine? How many restrooms in the library? how many CL lewis books named? Catalog computer Pin No. Book about horses?? Can anyone help. There were more questions and we got a lot of those answered but these ones listed I continue to scour the book for.

'' Escape From Mr. Lemoncello's Library" is a fun book about a couple of kids who get trapped in a library by game maker Mr. Lemoncello. They have to go through many puzzles and riddles to find the way to escape Mr. Lemoncello's Library.
