Mr. lemonchello's library was a great book it had so many magical things like flying books it was awesome and I can't wait to read the whole series

Discover a magical yet educational library. Kyle and his friends get a chance to explore this library before anyone else. From Imax theaters to crazy video games, this library has something for everyone! I really enjoyed this book and I bet many other kids will, too!

This is a really good book I loved. The book is about a boy named Kyle Kelley, who wins a chance to go to a library lock-in at the new library. The library was created by Mr. Luigi Lemoncello, Kyle’s favorite game maker. The library is full of cool gadgets, video games, food, and of course, books. But, the next day, when Kyle and his friends wake up, the doors don’t open. But can Kyle Keeley, younger brother of the total jock and total nerd, use his board game smarts, to find a way out of the library? Once you start reading this book you just can’t stop!!!

I felt the same way about this book, anajas1!

This book is amazing!!!!!!! I got this book at Barnes & Noble and I just love this book! Over 2016, I've read this book 20+ times. So I've had this book for 1 year and I just love this book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I also have: Mr. Lemoncello's Library Olympics, and Mr. Lemoncello's Great Library Race. And I just love this Lemoncello series.

I read this and it is very mysterious and you want to know more. If you like mysteries, this is the perfect book for you. Kyle suddenly realizes that he is chosen to be invited to the opening of the new library. He then gets himself into the game that the new librarian decided that she would experiment on them. Will Kyle be able to win the game or will it involve a bit of teamwork?

It is a very fun book and has a very mysterious plot.

I have been watching the ads on tv for the movie of this and they make it look so interesting.This is definetly a book worth reading!!

This book is magical, you will get lost in a world where the "not normal" is suddenly normal. The characters have to find their way out of Mr. Lemonchellos library for a prize. I have read this book multiple times because I have enjoyed it so much. The 2nd and 3rd books (Mr. Lemonchellos Library Olympics, and The Island of Dr. Libris.) are amazing! They all have a small part of all the other books in them.

i would probally like this i love james patterson book's

Fun,surprising and adventurous library.Wishing that somehow there`s a library like that ;for people to learn and enjoy each book in the library.
