Escape from Mr. Lemoncello’s Library review.

 Escape from Mr. Lemoncello’s Library review.

Hi all, it’s Neassa and today I am reviewing the book I recently finished, Escape from doctor Lemoncello’s library by Chris Grabenstein. I waited a really long time, looking for this book, so I was very excited when I finally got it!

What is this book about?

This book is about a group of twelve year olds who get the chance of a lifetime, to be the first to view the town’s new library. But this isn’t just any old library, it was made by Mr limoncello, the worlds greatest game maker.


Kyle Keely is determined to meet Mr. Limoncello, and so enters the essay competition to be in with a chance. But he doesn’t enter on time, and is lucky to be accepted into the competition, in fact, he’s convinced he hasn’t been!


Kyle is absolutely thrilled when he finds out that he is one of the lucky winners and can’t wait to explore the library. What Kyle doesn’t know is that Mr Lemencello’s library is full of traps, games and adventure!

Did you enjoy the book?

As I said before, I waited a really long time to read this book and so my expectations were really high, and all I can say is that this book didn’t disappoint! I really enjoyed it and honestly can’t wait to read the rest of the series!

What genre/s is this book in?

I would say this book is in the genres puzzle and fiction.

Puzzle because the book is jam-packed with riddles and word problems.

Fiction because, sadly, it didn’t actually happen, though I would have loved if it had!

Flaws?

Honestly, the only thing I would change about this book is I would keep more of the beginning characters throughout the book. Other than that, I wouldn’t change a thing!


So that’s my review of the brilliant escape from Mr Lemoncello’s library, i would definitely say that anyone from 9 to 13 should give it a go.


Happy Reading

How To Buy Books For And With Your Child

  A key component of reading is, well, books! And if your child doesn’t have any they want to read they won’t read. Period. So it is vital that your child has access to books they want to read. All The. Time. Especially if they are hesitant to read in the first place. With this in mind, I have created a list of hints and tips to help your child to pick books for themselves, along with some bonus tips on how to pick books for them yourself. No pressure to pick Make sure your child knows there is no pressure to pick a book at all. You are just going for a look, and if they pick it’s a bonus.  This can help to pick more enjoyable books as they are likely to buy books they actually want to read, rather than picking books for the sake of it. Money Is No Object At least at first, focusing on the price of the books will deter your child from picking the more expensive ones, that they may want more. While many book shops can be expensive, we would argue that it is worth it to encourage them to

Reading Consistently: A Quick Guide

Well hello there :), We are gathered today to discuss something that is an amalgamation (spell check? absolutely) of two topics I find quite interesting: reading (obviously) and habit-building. Yes, yes I am a nerd. I have decided to embrace this fact today. I just find it so intriguing how some people have certain habits while some don’t. Of course, many habits are built when someone is a young child, but I think everyone has the power to build new, or change old, habits given the correct tools. So, today I am going to talk about building a reading habit. This is, in my opinion, one of the best habits you can have. It has many benefits, which I’ll do another post on, but briefly some are: increased empathy and vocabulary, better quality sleep and less stress. Just before jumping in, I want to just say: I am no expert. BUT I think I can provide valid advice on building reading habits, as I have a healthy reading habit, experience building my own habits and I have (nerdily) watched coun

The Future by Neassa

 Hi guys, I know Saoirse wrote a post about her future with the business, what we see happening in the future and where we want this to go. Although I love the sound of here future, I have my own path ahead of me, and it's a bit different. If you haven't read Saoirse's plans, they are: Writing blog posts and maintaining website (year-round, but specifically during COVID and winter) Car boots sales on Saturdays/Sundays during the year and a pop-up stall in summer. (After COVID and while I’m still in school) Pop-up stall as a part-time job (while in college) Actual shop (after graduating) As Saoirse mentioned in her post, right now we are living the dream. Just two normal sisters doing what they love to do. How could that be a bad thing? I am happy and content with we are doing right now, but don't feel as though that will always be the case. I, of course, want to stay a part of this business for as long as I possibly can, but I also have always wanted to be a teacher. I
