Summary from Book: Who wants to be a bazillionaire?! It’s time for one last challenge with Mr. Lemoncello—and now everything is on the line!
Mr. Lemoncello has invited thirteen lucky thirteen-year-olds, each with their own special gifts, to compete in the final games. The winner will become the new owner of Mr. Lemoncello’s Entire Game-Making Empire!
There’s nothing Kyle Keeley wants more than to follow in Mr. Lemoncello’s footsteps. But something strange is going on. Someone is trying to take down Mr. Lemoncello once and for all. Will Kyle be able to stop them and make his dreams finally come true?!
Get ready for a whirlwind adventure that takes readers (and gamers!) from the lions of the New York Public Library to the dazzling heights of Mr. Lemoncello’s headquarters (home of the Universal Happiness Meter!) to the fast-paced, rollicking good time of the Choose Your Own Thrill-Venture roller coaster in the brand-new Lemoncelloland amusement park!
Buckle up for thie rip-roaring conclusion to the beloved Mr. Lemoncello’s Library series, packed with puzzles and games, special guest stars, and lots of surprises! And yes, there will be balloons!
Page Pig Thoughts: In case you, like us, would be thrilled to find out that another Mr. Lemoncello book was released, this quick blurp is for you. After all, “knowledge not shared remains unknown.”
This one is another entertaining ride through the fun, games, and library of Mr. Lemoncello. Reading the prequel Mr. Lemoncello before this one adds to the fun of character recognition/background for some of the characters that appear in this one. Page Pup and I savored the joys of one more Mr. Lemoncello, but were left a little sad that this was the end of new Mr. Lemoncello adventures. We were also disappointed that a list of referenced books was not at the end of this story. All in all, Mr. Lemoncello is an amazing character and we love his witty, puzzle filled, book loving, kindness oriented stories enough to read again and again.
