Mr. Lemoncello's at it again; he's built another game.
This one's based on research and discovering clues, a
combination of using library skills with the Amazing
Race. He's showing off the new exhibits for the library;
these holograms will travel around North American
libraries along with the game winners.
Kyle can't wait to compete in the games. After a stroke
of luck propels him into the second round, he couldn't be
more excited. Then Mr. Lemoncello pulls a switcheroo on
partners and he's stuck with Abia. She's not happy being
his partner either. In her opinion, Kyle always goes for
the easy answers, not necessarily the right one. Kyle
believes his new partner doesn't know how to have fun.
Together they persevere, attempting to gather the clues
quickly, solve the puzzles, and correctly research their
final answer. But the game comes to a screeching halt
when Mr. Lemoncello's accused of stealing his
competition's game -- the game that made him a legend.
Kyle knows that Mr. Lemoncello would never steal someone
else's work and he's willing to prove it. Realizing
clearing his idol's name is more important, Kyle teams up
with his friends to uncover the truth.
MR. LEMONCELLO'S GREAT LIBRARY RACE by Chris Grabenstein
captures the hearts
of readers. While the third book in the series brings the
focus back to libraries and research, it's the truth
behind Mr. Lemoncello's past that makes the book hard to
put down with the action and the race against the clock.
Teamwork, doing your research, and not always taking the
easy road all play a significant part of the story. The
book also highlights famous people who failed miserably
but kept trying until they succeeded; something Chris
Grabenstein understands well.
* In the back of the book, there's also a list of books
mentioned in the novel for those interested in reading
them.
Everyone’s favorite game maker, Mr. Lemoncello, is
testing out his new FABULOUS FACT-FINDING FRENZY game! If
Kyle can make it through the first round, he and the
other lucky finalists will go on a great race—by bicycle,
bookmobile, and even Mr. Lemoncello’s corporate banana
jet!—to find fascinating facts about famous Americans.
The first to bring their facts back to the library will
win spectacular prizes! But when a few surprising “facts”
surface about Mr. Lemoncello, it might be GO TO JAIL and
LOSE A TURN all at once! Could Kyle’s hero be a fraud?
It’s winner take all, so Kyle and the other kids will
have to dig deep to find out the truth before the GAME is
OVER for Mr. Lemoncello and his entire fantastic empire!
Filled with brand-new puzzles and games (including a
hidden bonus puzzle!), this fast-paced read will have
gamers and readers alike racing to the finish line
because, like Mr. Lemoncello’s commercials say, IS IT
FUN? . . . HELLO! IT’S A LEMONCELLO!
