Isabella ，

Billionaire Game-maker Luigi L。 Lemoncello is testing his “Fabulous Fact-Finding Frenzy” game where players find out interesting facts about famous Americans。 Following clues， the players read and read。 Kyle Keeley， Mr。Lemoncello’s greatest fan， naturally， wants to get first。 But when he uncovers some abominable “facts” about Mr。 Lemoncello， it looks like it will be a game over for his idol。

Terry ，

Goofy， eccentric Mr。 Lemoncello is surrounded by a diverse array of young game/reading enthusiasts and delightfully one-dimensional villains。 Refreshing fun。

It wasn't the best。 I have read four books from the series （there are 5）。 Other 3 books I have enjoyed but this one。 Even though it has the same idea I didn't fill that it was written like other books from this series。 I didn't enjoy this one much， I found it a bit boring and through the last pages， I just have flicked through reading quickly just to finish off the book。 I can't say that I had fun reading this。 It wasn't the best。 I have read four books from the series （there are 5）。 Other 3 books I have enjoyed but this one。 Even though it has the same idea I didn't fill that it was written like other books from this series。 I didn't enjoy this one much， I found it a bit boring and through the last pages， I just have flicked through reading quickly just to finish off the book。 I can't say that I had fun reading this。 。。。more

I think I am reading these beloved books the wrong way， mainly that my daughter and I are listening to the audio at night but we are so busy it only ends up being twice a week at most and so it takes forever。 We really enjoyed book one but as the series has gone on we are less into it。

Read this with my 7yo as we have been working our way through the series。 The books do a nice job of keeping the best of them from one book in the series to the next while also providing enough new ideas and focus to keep it interesting。 This book takes several characters from book 2 and adds in a competition based on research。 As an academic， I must say this book does a nice job introducing good research practices in a fun and age-appropriate way。 Also， there's a plot strand about intellectual Read this with my 7yo as we have been working our way through the series。 The books do a nice job of keeping the best of them from one book in the series to the next while also providing enough new ideas and focus to keep it interesting。 This book takes several characters from book 2 and adds in a competition based on research。 As an academic， I must say this book does a nice job introducing good research practices in a fun and age-appropriate way。 Also， there's a plot strand about intellectual property。 。。。more

Liked this one。 It featured historical figures I know， and some good ideas about sourcing。

The book was really a good book but it was very different from the first two ones。 I loved the first two books as they were funny and thriller ❤️but this third book was neither a thriller nor the mystery was too good。I had huge expections from this book 。 I expected a good mystery but the mystery in this book was too boring。 The only parts which I liked in this book were when Kyle and his friends discover that who was working as a spy for the Krinkle brothers and the opening scene of the book😇 I The book was really a good book but it was very different from the first two ones。 I loved the first two books as they were funny and thriller ❤️but this third book was neither a thriller nor the mystery was too good。I had huge expections from this book 。 I expected a good mystery but the mystery in this book was too boring。 The only parts which I liked in this book were when Kyle and his friends discover that who was working as a spy for the Krinkle brothers and the opening scene of the book😇 I liked it。❤️😇Go for it。。。 。。。more

（3。5 / 5）After a grand escape game and a library-fied version of the Olympics， Mr。 Lemoncello brings his favorite 12-year-olds （though I'd guess some are probably 13 by now） a game that sends teams on a much grander adventure--across town in bookmobiles and across states in his banana jet。 But trouble is afoot when Kyle's team uncovers evidence that Mr。 Lemoncello plagiarized his very first game。 Will his newly honed research skills be enough to clear his hero's name？After loving the first book （3。5 / 5）After a grand escape game and a library-fied version of the Olympics， Mr。 Lemoncello brings his favorite 12-year-olds （though I'd guess some are probably 13 by now） a game that sends teams on a much grander adventure--across town in bookmobiles and across states in his banana jet。 But trouble is afoot when Kyle's team uncovers evidence that Mr。 Lemoncello plagiarized his very first game。 Will his newly honed research skills be enough to clear his hero's name？After loving the first book in the series and enjoying the second one as well， this one didn't seem quite as good in the end。 The required suspension of disbelief is much higher in this one， both because these kids are allowed to take private jets to other states and even NYC without any real adult supervision， and because my past observation of most of the kids just being over-the-top knowledgeable was ramped up in this one。 Not only do some of these kids know just about every juvenile book ever written， plus have an extensive knowledge of the Dewey decimal system that they can mentally search whenever needed， but now some of those same kids know vast amounts of information about historical events and figures like the Wright brothers' first flight。 It's all just a bit too much to swallow。I did still like the puzzles and riddles along the way， though。 I enjoy being able to solve some of the clues along with the kids， though that was certainly lighter in this one。 The more of these grand-scale games Mr。 Lemoncello dreams up， the bigger they seem to have to be， which is somewhat understandable from a fiction stand-point， but seems like it'll be difficult to sustain。 And strangely， while the game itself is grander， the prize is。。。considerably less so， though that might just be from an adult's perspective。The mystery that came up in the latter half of the book and stalled the great game was interesting， as it was quite the reflection of the way the general public will believe nearly anything if they're given a convincing enough presentation， no matter if the facts back it up or not。 Parts of the mystery were predictable， parts not so much， and in the end， while I didn't enjoy this book as much as I did the first two， I know that the things that brought it down the most for me are going to be more noticeable to an adult than the age group the book is meant for。 My 10-year-old daughter loved this book as much as the previous two， and I think it's safe to recommend it for kids around 8-12。 。。。more

پر از شور و هیجان، نفس گیر و جذاب؛ در عین حال الهام بخش و تأمل بر انگیز。خیلی از خوندنش لذت بردم و برای تموم کردنش تا نیمه های شب بیدار موندم。راستش این جلد سوم مجموعه ی کتابخانه ی آقای لمونچلو هست و من با خودم فکر می کردم با توجه به اینکه هر سه جلد روند تقریبا مشابهی رو دنبال می کنن، داستان دیگه تکراری شده؛ اما "کریس گرابنستاین" همیشه مخاطب رو غافلگیر می کنه！دو جلد قبلی شخصیت ها در یک بازی معمایی و هیجانی شرکت میکردن و روند بازی، داستان کتاب رو تشکیل می داد。 اما این جلد، بچه ها با دنیای حقیقی رو پر از شور و هیجان، نفس گیر و جذاب؛ در عین حال الهام بخش و تأمل بر انگیز。خیلی از خوندنش لذت بردم و برای تموم کردنش تا نیمه های شب بیدار موندم。راستش این جلد سوم مجموعه ی کتابخانه ی آقای لمونچلو هست و من با خودم فکر می کردم با توجه به اینکه هر سه جلد روند تقریبا مشابهی رو دنبال می کنن، داستان دیگه تکراری شده؛ اما "کریس گرابنستاین" همیشه مخاطب رو غافلگیر می کنه！دو جلد قبلی شخصیت ها در یک بازی معمایی و هیجانی شرکت میکردن و روند بازی، داستان کتاب رو تشکیل می داد。 اما این جلد، بچه ها با دنیای حقیقی رو به رو شدن。 و این فقط یه بازی نبود؛ اونا باید برنده می شدن چون پای مرگ و زندگی میان بود！ اون ها یاد گرفتن که زندگی هم درست مثل یه بازی صفحه ایه؛ جرایانات زندگی هم مثل همه ی بازی ها، انسان ها رو در مخمصه قرار میده。 اما بازیکنی برنده ست، که هرگز تسلیم نشه و راهی برای خروج از مشکلات پیدا کنه。 همچنین کتاب شخصیت های تاریخی معروفی رو مثل امیلی دیکینسون، مایکل جردن و 。。。 به بچه ها معرفی می کنه که بارها در زندگی شون شکست خوردن اما هرگز تسلیم نشدن。کتاب به بچه ها یاد میده هرگز عجولانه قضاوت نکنن، به راحتی تحت تأثیر مکتوبات و رسانه ها قرار نگیرن و برای پیدا کردن حقیقت تمام تلاششون رو بکنن。 。。。more

Collin Johnson ，

Overall I think the book was very well written。 It had mixes of online tech and smarts。 Probably one of my favorite books of all time。 The plot was well written and not many boring parts。 The only parts I did not like were the bad guys， they were nice but I would like it if they came later in the book。 You can tell from the beginning the ending。

Chuck Ledger ，

Well done。 Solid theme。 The stages of the races were a bit short。 Good lessons without hitting you over the head with them。 。。。and some great quotes。。。especially the one about having rules for a game。

Rick Stuckwisch ，

Really enjoying this fun series， which actually offers some more thoughtful reflection on the benefits of books and reading than one might guess。 Reminiscent of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory。

Rayna ，

If the second book is a grab for money， this is worse。 I mean seriously？ Three times？ I get Mr。 Lemoncello is eccentric and has money to spare for all this kind of thing but letting Kyle in thee times is playing favorites。 This book is only Gabenstein piggybacking off his original， good idea to make more money。That being said， I didn’t hate the book， but I’m not reading it again and I wish it had been more original

Taylor ，

As always just a fun， easy read！ I love this series and any book that requires me to solve puzzles while I read！

Rachel ，

The kids loved this book。 We had not read the previous books， so they work out of order。 I found it really hard to read aloud。 The general pace and tone of the book leads to a lot of "shout reading" which gets a bit exhausting chapters at a time。 I would happily let them read the rest of the series， just to themselves。 The kids loved this book。 We had not read the previous books， so they work out of order。 I found it really hard to read aloud。 The general pace and tone of the book leads to a lot of "shout reading" which gets a bit exhausting chapters at a time。 I would happily let them read the rest of the series， just to themselves。 。。。more

I enjoyed the third installment of the Lemoncello Library series。 The situations became a little more predictable， but that didn’t take away from the adventure and excitement that comes with series。 I felt that the added challenges to the library race really shared the message of careful research， and not always believing what is shared on the internet and in the media。

Andrea ，

My favorite of the series so far。

Alli The Book Giraffe ，

This was a nice addition to the storyline。 I like that this one was a little different from the rest。 It was a bit more high stakes with a real world issue for the MCs to solve。 I am excited to see what is next in this series！

3。 I liked the 2nd book better but the message in this one was better。

Has some really good messages/themes。Quotes:p。150:"Conclusion-jumping often leads to bad answers and twisted ankles。"p。193:"But it makes sense，" said Diane。"In the same way that it makes sense for the airport security screeners to give my father extra scrutiny every time he flies because his skin is brown and his first name is Muhammad？" Has some really good messages/themes。Quotes:p。150:"Conclusion-jumping often leads to bad answers and twisted ankles。"p。193:"But it makes sense，" said Diane。"In the same way that it makes sense for the airport security screeners to give my father extra scrutiny every time he flies because his skin is brown and his first name is Muhammad？" 。。。more

I enjoyed this one， but not as much as the one before it。 I was glad for some more background to luigi L。 Lemoncello， however。

The Deceitful Emojis Either fact or fiction to decide on when you find a puzzle piece where sounds easy but as you read on the plot thickens。
