The story: Would being stuck in a library, unable to leave unless you found a secret escape route, be your fondest dream or your worst nightmare? Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if you were trapped in Mr. Lemoncello's library: he's the most famous game maker in the world, and the pathway to escape is like a huge video game being played in real time. Levels! Challenges! Pitfalls! The winner will find fame and fortune, while the loser...goes home a loser. Will snotty Charles Chiltington be that winner, or regular guy Kyle Keeley? Find out when you read this really fun puzzle of a book.
June Cleaver's ratings: Language G, Violence G; Sexual content, G; Nudity G; magic and the occult G; substance abuse G; GLBT content G; adult themes G; overall rating G.
Liz's comments: Don't think that a book with an overall rating of G will be flat and boring. Not true! This is a clever, fun-filled run through the library with lots of book-related humor that adults will get (kind of like those wink-wink jokes in Disney films that kids don't get until years later). Okay, so maybe I'm prejudiced because it takes place in a LIBRARY, but this library is kind of like Willy Wonka's chocolate factory: unlike the regular version in just about every way...except it still uses the Dewey decimal system!
