by Chris Grabenstein
Random House, 2016. 276 p. Fiction


In this sequel to Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library, Kyle Keeley and his friends from Alexandriaville are up against the biggest library nerds in the whole nation. Mr Lemoncello has created a nationwide Library Olympics, with new puzzles and challenges. Can the hometown team beat the 32 best middle-school-age library lovers from all over the country, including the amazingly smart and nasty Marjory Muldauer? There is more at stake here than the go-to-college-free card Mr. Lemoncello has promised to the winning team and Kyle must figure out who is trying to depose Mr. Lemoncello and ruin the Alexandriaville library before it is too late. Those who liked the first book in the series will like this one as well. There are more puzzles, more mysteries, and more fun references to lots of great works of children's literature. This book is available from the Library in print, on CD, as an ebook, and as an audiobook download.
