Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library

As a kid, I was always intrigued with the movie Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.  I loved the idea of Willy Wonka inviting kids into his Chocolate Factory.  I felt like I was on the adventure with them.  In Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library, Luigi Lemoncello is a millionaire toy-maker who has designed a brand new library.  This library is like no other.  It has an IMAX theater, holograms that can be used to research and electronic learning centers.  It's the library that I truly dream of.  For the grand opening of the library, Mr. Lemoncello chooses kids from the town to play a game in which they have to escape from the library.  Will they get out before morning?  What happens if they don't?  Do they all play fair?  If you love puzzles, libraries and adventure, be sure to check this book out!
