Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library

My son chose this book for a project in his grade 5 class.He's not a big reader but managed to plow through this in less than 2 weeks!And he loved it! Every evening he'd give me a synopsis of what he's read.He got an A+ on the project too!

In my daughter's words: 'absolutely loved it', 'bonus puzzle made it even better', 'seriously epic'

Love the whole series. The first book is really nice and engaging. Creates further interest in looking at puzzles, codes, escape room, trivia etc. Treasure hunts became more exciting after throwing in rebus and other kinds of clues! Very nice and great book to gift as well

I really wish this book had been written about twenty years ago. I would have loved to have had the opportunity to read this book when I was in primary school or early high school. It's just such a great story about libraries and books and what makes both so special. Add to that friendship, challenge, mystery, an underdog trying to defeat the rich kid and you've got an engaging first book in the Lemoncello series.The book is funny, heartwarming and engaging. I flew through the chapters eager to find out the next challenge (and add another title to my TBR) and see how the characters would react. The 12 kids who begin the challenge are quickly whittled down to a hardcore few that are a varied and interesting bunch. Led by Kyle they are determined not to give up. Whilst I was sure their resilience would pay-off, it didn't detract from my enjoyment of the book. A great story that I would recommend to any MG readers.

El libro era para un niño de 11 años y le ha gustado mucho. La mezcla de misterio, la resolución de pruebas, la presencia constante de libros, ha conseguido engancharle mucho y lo ha disfrutado.
