This book captured me in it's wonder-filled pages. Kyle is such magical character! His amazing spirit helped his team through the 12 works of the master mind, Luigi L. Lemoncello. Some challenges are played by Akimi or Miguel. Some are played Sierra or Kyle. But all could be won Marjory. She was book royalty like Team Kyle wishes they could be. The only match for Marjory was Sierra. But in the middle of a challenge to debate for, more of Mr. Lemoncello's precious books are stolen, giving Marjory the crown. Can Team Kyle over-come this cheater and a book disaster?

This is a great book for all ages and the whole series is great . I've read the 1st and 2nd and I am reading the third.
Good book!
In this second installment of Luigi Lemoncello, Kyle's friends are up to a new challenge. This time, they have to win a library competition against bookworms around the nation. But they have stiff competition and the games get harder every round! Not as good as Book 1, but still cool.
I loved this book and I really enjoyed it. The book is about a boy named Kyle Keeley, who in the previous book, won Mr. Lemoncello’s Library Escape game, and is now staring in Lemoncello advertisements. But right after Haley Daley, one of the team members, moves to Hollywood, Mr. Lemoncello anounces that there will be another library game, called The Library Olympics... only this time, it will include kids from all across America, including Marjory, a child prodigy from Michigan. But suddenly, books begin disappearing from the shelf’s, and Mr. Lemoncello looks like he is about ready to give the library up to ‘the League of Library Lovers’ led by millionaire Mrs. Chillington, the mother of a losing competitor. I loved this book. You should defiantly read it.
The thing I like about this books that is refreshes your knowledge from the previous book, and that it also gives new characters and new perspectives. Happy reading!
Oh please please please!!! Have pity on me and give me the book!!! I am the biggest bookworm ever in my K-12 school. I love reading so much I trained myself to learn how to read and walk at the same time. (I'm now fluent at it. I don't trip at all, even on stairs!) I have finished all the books in each and every grade I've been in. I've read all the books in my house, and the library. I really need something new to read!!! Please!!!!!!!!
This book is the second book, and so far i am only on chapter 15 but i will write a real review once i am done
I love this follow-up to Mr.Lemoncello's Library! I will tell you more about it later.
I LOVE this book! I ended up solving the puzzle at the end of the book and talked to Mr. Grabenstein! This is the series to keep your eyes on!
