Mr. Lemoncello's Library Olympics

by Chris Grabenstein

Book 2 of the Mr. Lemoncello's Library series

Mr. Lemoncello invites teams of young library experts from across the country to compete in his first Library Olympics. Kyle and his friends face research puzzles, book-based challenges, and formidable rivals while local activists attempt to restrict what the library may offer. Winning scholarships matters, but defending open access to ideas ultimately requires competitors to cooperate. Lively and puzzle-packed, this sequel suits middle-grade readers who enjoy libraries, team contests, clue solving, and adventures that make intellectual freedom as exciting as the scoreboard.
