Escape From Mr. Lemoncello's Library, Chris Grabenstein. Kyle Keeley is on a quest to earn the top prize by escaping from the newest library created and designed by none other than the Mr. Lemoncello, game wizard and book nerd, himself. In similar fashion of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, 12 contestants are allowed entry and slowly, many are tossed out due to selfish and greedy reasons. The contest begins in the library with 24 hours to find their way out of the library. With loads of mind games, puzzles and references to book titles, contestants must use their library knowledge, especially the Dewey Decimal System to come out on top. Holograms and game tactics, such as "ask a friend" and "shout out" can be utilized to further gain information. Soon, teams form and brains work together to solve the clues.

This is a fun book and would make a great read aloud. It smacks of "7 habits" because the two final teams clearly demonstrate how synergizing gets the job done, or not done, in the case of one team.
