Escape From Mr. Lemoncello's Library by Chris Grabenstein

This book is about Kyle Keeley and how he and his friends escape from Mr. Lemoncello's library. One day on the bus Akimi (Kyle's best friend) tells him about how the new library is having a lock-in. She also tells him you have to write an essay to get in. So Kyle writes a single sentence and hands it in at school. The next day they find out who the winners are and one of them is Kyle. To the kids it's just a normal lock-in thinking they are going there to spend the night and go home the next day.  But Mr. Lemoncello (one of the most famous toy designers ever and the one who owns the library) had a trick up his sleeve, he was going to have all of the kids stay overnight and try and solve the mystery of how to escape the library. Kyle teams up with his friends to escape the mysteries of the library.

          I'd suggest this book to kids who have a huge imagination, complex mind, and love to tinker and invent things.  Chris Grabenstien did a wonderful job in creating this book and many others. It was really fun to read this book because he used so many descriptive words, it felt like I was there.
