Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library by Chris Grabenstein
3.0
This book was fun. What bookworm wouldn't want a behind the scenes look at a new, high-tech library?
The book has a lot of characters, all exhibiting various personalities, that made the book interesting. I liked how Kyle went from slacker to responsible team leader. It was also nice to see how his relationship with reading changed.
The author does a good job of focusing on friendship, teamwork, and honesty. The majority of the characters understood the importance of these traits and it was interesting to see how they arrived to conclusions and made decisions.
While the competition in the book, as well as, the puzzles were well thought out, I think their were other aspects of the book that were underdeveloped. I know this book features a library but the "book name dropping" was a tad excessive. Overall though, this was a quick and easy read. I would definitely be interested in reading the next book in the series.
