Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library Chris Grabenstein Douglas Holgate, Illustrator Random House, November, 2023 258 pages Grades 3-6 Graphic Novel Kyle Keeley loves games, especially those of eccentric hometown hero, Luigi Lemoncello. Kyle plays hard. He is even not afraid to break windows, if that means beating his brothers at games. When Mr. Lemoncello offers an essay contest to pick a group of kids to compete in an actual scavenger hunt within the walls of his new library, Kyle knows he has to win. Despite a remarkably lame essay, Kyle is chosen and is challenged to find the clues to escape the new library, which is housed in an old bank, where robbers escaped many years ago. Can Kyle solve the clues and puzzles to figure out the robber's escape route? Not alone he can't! Kyle teams up with some of the other contestants to create a team, proving that teamwork is dreamwork. Meanwhile, the class rich-kid/bully is also a competitor and will stop at nothing to win. Do Kyle and his team have a chance against Charles' dirty-dealings? State of the art technology, mind-busting puzzles, and even holograph librarians await in this now-classic library adventure.
