Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library
by Chris Grabenstein
Kyle Keeley is the ultimate gamer, so when he learns that the world's most famous game maker, Luigi Lemoncello, has designed the town's brand-new library, he is determined to be one of the lucky few invited to the opening night lock-in.

Kyle and his teammates must solve a series of complex riddles, find hidden clues, and navigate the high-tech library to find the secret escape route before time runs out.
