Review of "Mr. Lemoncello's Library Olympics" on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Luigi Lemoncello returns in this YA book set in a magical library, sort of what a library would be like if Willy Wonka ran it. Kyle Keeley and friends team up once again for the Library Olympics, a revisiting of the original competition from book 1 but this time accepting teams from all over the country, the prizes being free university tuition.
The competition is another series of puzzles the kids have to solve, generally all based on or somehow tied to books and libraries. The plot is now complicated by Charles Chiltington (from book 1) who is now plotting with his mother to take the library away from Mr. Lemoncello and hand control over to a board of trustees for the good of the city. The student competitors have to not only solve Lemoncello's problems but also save him and the library itself from the dastardly Chiltingtons' plotting.

A simple book, if you (or your kid) enjoyed the first one then pick it up because this is exactly the same thing. If you didn't, well then, avoid this one also.
