I got an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I really enjoy this book series and I found the graphic novel version to be so much fun. It celebrates teamwork, games, education, and the library system. There are puzzles that the reader can try to solve alongside the characters. I highly recommend it for middle grade readers.

It’s a great way to get started with reading plus you don’t have to read the whole entire series of books to understand the story!

This was a really great read! I have never read any of the Mr. Lemoncello’s books, but I'm thinking I might need to start after reading this book. I loved the graphic novel format; it definitely helped me fly through this story. The illustrations and colors were wonderful, and they really helped bring this story to life. It'd be great if the other books in this story get turned into graphic novels too!

Thank you to Random House Children's, Random House Graphic and NetGalley for the ARC!

I haven't read the original text, but really really loved this book!

The characters walk the reader through enough of the puzzles for you to still feel smart when you figure them out on your own.

Will definetly be getting this for my middle school library!
