This is the first of the 2016 Mark Twain award nominees that I have read, and it was a good one to start with. I read this one in just a couple of days, wondering what was to come as I turned each page. Author Grabenstein did a great job of keeping things organized. The story was multi-faceted and complicated, yet easy to follow and understandable. It's not far-fetched that Missouri librarians chose Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library for the award list: with all the talk of the Dewey Decimal System, classic literature, and modern children's literature, this book is a salute to libraries as well as a a fun ride through mystery and game playing. It made me want to give some suggestions to the design of the new library here in Joplin. | From the author's website: Can twelve 12-year-olds escape from the most ridiculously brilliant library ever created? |
