AWESOME! If there was a rating 100, I would definitely rate it 100. I love the competition in the book, it's very interesting and fun. From all the books I have read, I think this is one of my top 3 books I like the most.

His hero, Luigi Lemoncello, the most notorious and creative gamemaker in the world, just so happens to be the genius behind the construction of the new town library. Lucky Kyle wins a coveted spot as one of twelve kids invited for an overnight sleepover in the library, hosted by Mr. Lemoncello and riddled with lots and lots of games. But when morning comes, the doors stay locked. Kyle and the other kids must solve every clue and figure out every secret puzzle to find the hidden escape route!

This book is perfect, amazing, fantastic, and superb! This is one of my favorite books because of the interesting plot and the fact that it references so many books. Kyle is the average kid who loves games. When a new library is built by his role model in his town, he tries his best to be one of the twelve kids invited before opening night. He gets his spot but learns that he will be playing a game with the eleven kids, and the winner will receive astounding rewards. That's when the story gets interesting. This book has won multiple awards, is part of a series, and is already a movie! This is a book for all kids, whether your a young boy or a teen girl!
I loved this book and the sequels that followed it! They are full of action and adventure and I love doing the puzzles that the author includes. This book is exciting and is a real page-turner.
