i really loved reading this book it was funny when the bully guy came and made the wicked witch of the west go all around the place on her broom and was looking for red slippers
THIS IS MY ALL TIME FAV BOOK! My second grade teacher gave it to me. And now i am going to sixth grade next year , i have read this book like 25 times. Jaw drop, not kidding. so the main idea is that there is a gamer boy name Kyle. And he lives in Alexanderaville, Ohio. there is a new library being built but you will never believe who is the owner.. the owner is the crazy gamer maker Mr. Lemoncello. at school there is a contest for a few kids to sleepover at the library. there are many kids who get to go, including Kyle.The next day they find out they are locked in the library. It is part of a new game. You have to find clues to escape. there is a not so nice kid that is playing. He and Kyle are SO SO not friends. they hate each other. The escape has to with the past, and robbers. Who will win? this is all i will tell. if you want to know more, your just gonna have to read it.ENJOY THIS GREAT BOOK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i love this book five stars
Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library is a clue book that is fun and that I enjoy reading too. It's full of technology and funnies and laughs.
This is a great book and is one of my favorites! There are 12 sixth grade kids who get chosen as winners from an essay contest to take a tour of the new town library. The old one became a mall parking lot. The new building used to be a bank but is now a high-tech library. The next day those kids find out that they will be locked in trying to escape but, they are not allowed to escape through the front doors or the fire escape. Some kids don't want to participate because they have better things to do. Others are caught cheating or are wrong and must exit the game. Who will be the winners? Find out by reading this book!
This is one of the best books I have ever read. If you love books and solving puzzles, than is is a must read. I wish that this book were actually true so that I could go visit this library. Definitely a book I plan to own in the near future. I loved the list of books that they mentioned in the book in the back of the book. It added several more books to my "can't wait to read this" list.
This is a great book series! I love that the author puts an extra clue that you have to find at the end of the book.
This book is wonderful! It is so magical, and will make you wish that you were put in the kids shoes. This book at the same time portrays normal kids, just like you and me, making this book really relatable so that you can relate to these students and their decisions.This book is even super funny.
