Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library

I have always wanted to hold a lock-in in the library.  Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library by Chris Grabenstein is the story of the perfect lock-in at a library. 

Kyle is thrilled to win a contest for a lock-in at the new library in town.  The library has been designed by famous game designer Luigi Lemoncello.  The lock-in promises to have food, fun, and games.  There is nothing Kyle likes more than games.

After a wonderful night of games, Kyle finds out that him and the rest of the kids have the chance to participate in a game to leave the library.  They must find a way out of the library that doesn't include going out the way they came in, setting off any fire alarms, or damaging the library in any way.  Now they have to go on a book-themed scavenger hunt to win the ultimate prize.

I loved this book.  The games and riddles throughout the story are great.  It was fun to try to solve the riddles before the kids did.  I also loved all the children's book references on every page.  A great book for everybody!
