Mr. Lemoncello reminds me of Gene Wilder as the original Willy Wonka in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory movie from the 1970's. An eccentric billionaire decided to open a library in his hometown. The old library was torn down 12 years prior and Mr. Lemoncello was holding an essay contest using the prompt, "Why I'm Excited About the New Public Library". Only 12 year olds could enter the contest, because for their entire lives, they have never had a public library in their town. 12 winners would be selected to spend the night in the new library before it opened to the general public.
It includes all of the characters you would expect in the world of Wonka. Including their own Veruca Salt, Charles Chiltington. The story is a fast paced game to see who can escape first. The winner will be rewarded with prizes and fame and glory!
Escape From Mr. Lemoncello's Library is entertaining and exciting and wonderfully incorporates many book titles and author's that will hopefully encourage a new generation to read wonderful books like From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler! among so many other titles I remember reading when I was younger. You will be entertained from start to finish!
