Escape from Mr. Lemoncello’s Library by Chris Grabenstein was fantastic. The main character is Kyle Keeley. Twelve kids who won the best essay competition in school, will get to come in
to the huge new library. On this day the library is only open to them. But what the kids inside the library don’t know is that it is one big game! They are trapped! This book takes place in a HUGE library with games, mysteries (for the reader and the characters), and fun!

Kyle Keeley loves adventure. He enjoys playing games with his siblings and solving mysteries. He also loves video games. The first thing that he wanted to do in the library was go to the video game room. He is really smart. He always figures out ways to do things. This book is super exciting because there are so many different rooms in the library like the video game room and the food room, and there are platforms that you can stand on to make you fly (one of the characters uses them!). I think some of the most important things that they find are the clues. There are little pictures of them throughout the book. They are important because the clues help them get out of the library. One part that I enjoyed was when one of the kids, named Sierra, gets on a platform that makes her levitate. She was flying. Another thing that was exciting was when they figured out the first clue. People get eliminated so when some people got eliminated, it changed the story. You get get eliminated for cheating.

I really enjoyed this book. It was full of mystery, excitement, and fun! I would recommend this book to people who like solving things because it is truly a great, amazing novel. The genre is action and mystery. I would give this book five stars.
