Great book yo; had me LOL

Lydia Sigwarth

As an adult reading this I honestly found it pretty annoying。 However this book was not written for adults and I know my library kids love these books so it got an extra star for that。

I find it sad that with an initial book so great that all of the sequels follow the same formula。 It's always a game with a lot of kids。 It's like Redwall, but worse。 The books are still enjoyable, but very much the same。 I find it sad that with an initial book so great that all of the sequels follow the same formula。 It's always a game with a lot of kids。 It's like Redwall, but worse。 The books are still enjoyable, but very much the same。 。。。more

A switch from the idea of competition involving libraries and reading to competition with traditional games。 And it sounds like there are more episodes to come。

Welcome a new cast of characters and a new theme to the Lemoncello series!Okay, I admit it, I was worried。 Switching horses mid-stream and so abruptly seemed like a possibly really terrible idea。 It was not。 The fresh characters and tasks were amazing! Kudos to Grabenstein for being able to pull off the change。

What a fun read! We loved all the game references and word puzzles。 We *may* have bought hard copy to participate in contest this August 🥳

These books are just so much fun to read aloud。

Mr。 Lemoncello's game-making factory is in Hudson Hills, NY, and recently a new, top-secret building was added to the grounds。 Now it's time for another game, for the first time taking place outside of Ohio, with competitors from Hudson Hills。 The playing field is inside that new building, and the prize is a titanium ticket, one of multiple that will eventually be awarded。 But the real prize, what the ticket gives its holder a chance at, is the biggest one yet!Each book after the first in this s Mr。 Lemoncello's game-making factory is in Hudson Hills, NY, and recently a new, top-secret building was added to the grounds。 Now it's time for another game, for the first time taking place outside of Ohio, with competitors from Hudson Hills。 The playing field is inside that new building, and the prize is a titanium ticket, one of multiple that will eventually be awarded。 But the real prize, what the ticket gives its holder a chance at, is the biggest one yet!Each book after the first in this series got a little less exciting for me。 A little less interesting, a little less fresh。 In this fifth book, all of the excitement from the first one came rushing back。 It's different and fun again。 Not that some of the formula the series has developed isn't there, but it feels new again。 It helps a lot that we step away from the Ohio kids and meet some brand new ones。 Kyle makes an appearance, but he's just a side character。 And the new MC, Simon, is different in a lot of ways。There are several things that happen in the story that caused me to mentally cheer。 I so wish I could expand on that at all, but I'll just say that there were some great moments。 I love the friendship that's formed in the story and the way that whole thing turns out。 And I really love how Simon's personal story came to fruition。The titanium ticket angle was a little predictable, and it's a little frustrating to have another Charles Chiltington-type character, though this new one (Jack) is different in many ways too。 I suppose some of that might just be the genre and intended age group。 But those very minor issues aren't even worth a partial-point detraction for me, and I am happy to highly recommend this book to kids around 8-12 years old, as well as others who are interested in this type of book。 While I did feel the last few books in the series weren't quite as good, I would suggest reading it all up to this point。 And based on the ending, it's clear that this series isn't over yet。 。。。more

This book was pretty good, but it felt a bit to much like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory。

Everyone in Hudson Hills loves Luigi Lemoncello: the production of his awesome games is the foundation of the town's economy and he's the world's coolest employer。 Everyone but Simon's grandfather that is, so every game Simon has ever played he had to invent himself。 A little finagling on the part of his friend Soraiya gets Simon into Lemoncello's factory, then his fun-filled employee picnic, and finally the mysterious new building that's the setting for Lemoncello's biggest competition yet。 The Everyone in Hudson Hills loves Luigi Lemoncello: the production of his awesome games is the foundation of the town's economy and he's the world's coolest employer。 Everyone but Simon's grandfather that is, so every game Simon has ever played he had to invent himself。 A little finagling on the part of his friend Soraiya gets Simon into Lemoncello's factory, then his fun-filled employee picnic, and finally the mysterious new building that's the setting for Lemoncello's biggest competition yet。 The series' previous heroes are largely absent, but the playful riddles and zany games are present and accounted for。 。。。more

Our ears were GLUED to the story! My son loved the riddles and puzzles。 A hard copy would have been fun to have, to see them - but then we’d miss out on the great narrator - I wouldn’t be able to do the characters justice reading it out loud。

As fun and cute as the rest of the series。 Loved the new characters and the narrator wasn't too bad! First audio of the year。 Hopefully will help pull me out of the reading slump。 As fun and cute as the rest of the series。 Loved the new characters and the narrator wasn't too bad!

Simon Skrindle has never played a board or video game because his grandfather blames Mr。 Lemoncello for the deaths of Simon's parents。 Simon is a natural puzzle solver。 He has also secretly created board games in the attic where Grandma and Grandpa will never go。 During a field trip to Mr。 L's game factory, he makes a suggestion which earns him an invitation to the annual over-the-top company picnic。 Four kids from the town will be paired in series of challenges with champions from the previous Simon Skrindle has never played a board or video game because his grandfather blames Mr。 Lemoncello for the deaths of Simon's parents。 Simon is a natural puzzle solver。 He has also secretly created board games in the attic where Grandma and Grandpa will never go。 During a field trip to Mr。 L's game factory, he makes a suggestion which earns him an invitation to the annual over-the-top company picnic。 Four kids from the town will be paired in series of challenges with champions from the previous library games。 The challenges this time are not based on using library resources to answer resources。 The contestants will play oversized versions of familiar games including a Battleship challenge using mini submarines in a large pool。 Each win provides letters in the puzzle leading to the location of the titanium ticket。 The ticket will lead to being entered in more games and eventually an opportunity to inherit Mr。 L's empire。 Simon's nemesis Jack, king of snide remarks and a stereotypical bully, is determined to knock Simon out of the competition even if he has to resort to dirty tricks。 He never realizes that Mr。 L may have a few tricks of his own to play。 A brilliantly impressive tribute to many of our favorite games。 Score one for the good-hearted nerds。 。。。more

Good bookI loved the book。 It was really good。 It was good because of the new characters introduced。 The new characters also had goid connections with Mr。 Lemoncello

Molly Horowitz

This book is genius。 Absolutely genius。 Very funny, especially great for riddle-lovers, puzzle-solvers and kids who love to have fun。 I would recommend it to kids ages 9-14。

Another fun installment of the Mr。 Lemoncello books from author Chris Grabenstein for 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders。 I've been a fan of this series since its inception because I love solving the puzzles。 This one has its share of puzzles plus games of my childhood added in with a new twist。 The only thing that bothered me about the book is that it is a bit too reminiscent of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl。 Still, a fun read。 Looking forward to the next one。 Another fun installment of the Mr。 Lemoncello books from author Chris Grabenstein for 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders。 I've been a fan of this series since its inception because I love solving the puzzles。 This one has its share of puzzles plus games of my childhood added in with a new twist。 The only thing that bothered me about the book is that it is a bit too reminiscent of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl。 Still, a fun read。 Looking forward to the next one。 。。。more

It's so much fun to be back with Mr。 Lemoncello, Kyle, Akimi, and some of the others from the previous 4 books。 I loved the addition of new characters Soroiya and Simon。 What's not to love? There's games, and puzzles, and riddles, and lots and lots of running and racing and climbing and sliding down things, and food, lots of food, especially the kind you have to crawl through or get a face full of。 Yeah, if I was a 12-year-old kid and I'd be all over this。 It's so much fun to be back with Mr。 Lemoncello, Kyle, Akimi, and some of the others from the previous 4 books。 I loved the addition of new characters Soroiya and Simon。 What's not to love?
