Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library by Chris Grabenstein

4.0

Re-read 7/2023: I read this in 2016 but didn’t realize there were more than 3 or 4 books now, so I wanted to re-read the series from the start. I think the first will always be my favorite just because it’s so innovative and engaging. I loved it even re-reading it as an adult, and have recommended it to a lot of people - and can’t wait for my son to read it!

Originally read 6/2016: I was sucked in to this book from the beginning - books and riddles and codes and a super-cool library?! I’m in. It was a really good story, and I appreciate how it will get younger kids, especially those who aren’t readers and are more into games, into reading. There were book titles and references galore in this book, so it was fun to place those. It reminded me of Book Scavenger.
