SYNOPSIS

Kyle loves board games and knows every one created by the famous Mr. Lemoncello.

To celebrate the town’s new library which he’s built, Mr. Lemoncello announces a board-like game challenge.

Kyle is excited to be selected for it, along with a few of his classmates, but does not expect the challenge he’s up against.

A successful departure from the locked and labyrinth-like library depends on finding and resolving clues.

A subgroup of the contestants, with Kyle, team up and together solve Mr. Lemoncello’s challenges to win the competition.

• Teamwork is a big one among the book’s messages – each contestant has unique talents and by banding together, a team wins.
• Introduction to different YA books!
• Mystery combined with (slight) nerdiness – a recipe for enjoyment 🙂
