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!
* "An ode to libraries and literature that is a worthy successor to the original madman puzzle-master himself, Willy Wonka." -Booklist, Starred, on Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library
"Just as much of an adventure as the first." -The Washington Post, on Mr. Lemoncello's Library Olympics
