Did I enjoy this book: After reading Escape from Mr. Lemoncello’s Library, I had to dive into this book. I really enjoyed this read as well, not quite as much as the first book, but it was still great.

We are back with Kyle Keeley and his friends, the champions of the library escape. They have now been challenged to a library olympics against teams of kids from across the country. Mr. Lemoncello devised another fun set of games, but as always, there is a twist. I did like the twist at the end of this book.

This story was fun and kept me reading from beginning to end.

Would I recommend it: Sure! I loved the first book, and this was a great follow-up. I can’t wait for book 3, Mr. Lemoncello’s Great Library Race.

 

About the book – from Goodreads: Welcome, boys and girls, readers of all ages, to the first-ever Library Olympiad! Kyle and his teammates are back, and the world-famous game maker, Luigi Lemoncello, is at it again!

This time Mr. Lemoncello has invited teams from all across America to compete in the first ever LIBRARY OLYMPICS. Will it be fun? Like the commercials say. . . HELLO? It’s a Lemoncello! But something suspicious is going on . . . books are missing from Mr. Lemoncello’s library. Is someone trying to CENSOR what the kids are reading?! In between figuring out mind-boggling challenges, the kids will have to band together to get to the bottom of this mystery.

Now it’s not just a game—can Mr. Lemoncello find the real defenders of books and champions of libraries?
