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

Welcome

Hi! Welcome to the Book Corner Blog. This is a blog all about children’s books. As children ourselves we are experts on the subject and we want to share our knowledge with all of you. We know that many children associate reading with school. We hope that this can change since there are so many books out there that are nothing to do with school but still very, very good. On our blog we hope to introduce children and young adults to books that they will want to read instead of ones they think they should read. We are also hoping to include some author interviews. We have so many questions to ask the authors of our favorite books. There are some books that you read and they just fill you up with questions. We want to get answers to those questions. We hope that our blog will cover those topics as well as many more. We will try to post at least once a week and we would be overjoyed if you were to read some of them.  Saoirse and Neassa at The Book Corner

Why you don’t like reading

           Why you don’t like reading In this blogpost we are going to talk about a lot of common reasons why people don’t like reading and how to get around these problems. We know that there are so many different reasons that people don’t like reading and we are only going to cover the basic ones. Teachers Teachers are actually a huge problem when it comes to children reading. They often make their classes read books that they don’t want to read as part of their work. These books are usually classics or books that are quite complicated and very “wordy” [meaning that they have a lot of words and phrases that are uncommon or rarely used]. Not all teachers are like this, though. When I [Saoirse] was in sixth class [fifth grade] I read “Holes” by Louis Sachar. This turned out to be one of my favourite books so that ended up being a good thing. Another problem with teachers is that they rarely have very good or interesting books in their class library. For us, this is a big problem becaus

Reading by Neassa

 Hey guys, it's Neassa. I don't really have a specific topic for this post, so I'm just gonna talk all things reading. Why am I doing this, you might ask? Well, it's because reading books isn't confined to one subject, so neither is this post. I am often asked, why reading? Why are you a bookworm when you could be a gamer or a sportswoman? Well, firstly I can still be a gamer or a sportswoman and still be a bookworm ! It's not a job or a commitment, it's just for fun.  And why reading? If I'm completely honest, I'm not sure. I really can't remember a time when I wasn't surrounded with books whether I was reading them myself or having them read to me by m parents, so I have been enjoying stories for years ,and I just never stopped! I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before, but I also like writing short stories. I would love to write a novel, and am really excited about that. I like writing because I like to try and cover topics I lik
