Escape from Mr. Lemoncello’s Library by Chris Grabenstein

Chris Grabenstein’s book instantly grabs you. The main character, Kyle, is playing a scavenger hunt game with his two older brothers. Kyle wins against his older brothers, but not without getting grounded.

Kyle hears from his best friend that Mr. Lemoncello, his ultimate hero, is hosting a lock-in at the new public library! Kyle has to write a really good essay to go to the lock-in, which for Kyle, is the ultimate challenge. You will probably guess from the title of the book that Kyle gets in. At the end of the lock-in, Kyle can go home or find a way out of the library, without using exits, or leave the way he came in from. If he escapes, he will become world famous.

I won’t tell you how it ends, so if you were hooked by my review, you’ll just have to read it for yourself. I would recommend this book for advanced 10 year old readers to 11 year old readers.
