In this book, Kyle and his team had to solve problems to escape from Mr. Lemoncello's library. Once they escaped, their prize was to star in Mr. Lemoncello's commercials. My favorite part of the book was when I got to use clues to help solve the problems myself.
I like this book because it was full of mysteries, clues and riddles to solve. I also loved the library with the gaming room, the lounge and the cool technology.
I loved this book so so so so so much!!!!!!!!!!!! It is a great realistic fiction story!!!!!!!!!!! It is about some kids who go to Mr. Lemoncello's Library and have a fun time finding out about everything that happens in the library. I think this book is for both boys and girls because there are both boys and girls in it. I hope you like it!!!!!!!!
