Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library

by Chris Grabenstein

Kyle Keeley enters a televised competition inside an extraordinary library designed by eccentric game-maker Luigi L. Lemoncello. Teams must solve literary riddles, navigate elaborate rooms, and cooperate under rules that keep changing. The challenge rewards curiosity and reading knowledge more than athletic skill. Fast, funny, and interactive, this middle-grade adventure is an ideal family read for book lovers who enjoy escape rooms, trivia, teamwork, and a library turned into a playground.
