Mr. Lemoncello's Great Library Escape by Chris Grabenstein

Cover image for Mr. Lemoncello's great library raceIn this third tale of Mr. Lemoncello and his loyal board of trustees, Mr. Lemoncello has created a new game for Kyle, Akimi, Sierra, Andrew and their friends.  They must team up in pairs and find little known facts about the five new historical holograms recently created for the Library.  As they start their research, they find out facts that, if true, would ruin the reputation, and maybe the fortune of their beloved Mr. Lemoncello.  Abandoning the game, the friends go on a full out research quest to prove Mr. Lemoncello is innocent.

This book is really just a remix of the second book.  Kyle and their friends learn important lessons about careful research and prove their loyalty to their favorite millionaire.  If kids liked the first two, they will like this one.  Teachers will like it too, because it demonstrates several common research errors.  I really want to do a Lemoncello library type activity at my library this fall.  I will have to start thinking about how to make it cool. (2017, 279 p.)
