Ten great readers joined this year's fall book club. Our featured book is "Escape From Mr. Lemoncello's Library" by Chris Grabenstein. Amazon describes this book as; Charlie and the Chocolate Factory meets A Night in the Museum.
"We have had loads of fun each week as we venture deeper into this puzzle mystery.
Exploring author Chris Grabenstein's amazing website gave us the opportunity to learn more about the author, preview some of his other books and discover the inspiration for Escape From Mr. Lemoncello's Library. Although we were not able to crack into Mr. Grabenstein's busy Skype schedule, we were fortunate enough to receive a recorded Q and A from him. He answered all the questions that we were wondering about him and his book. Students also enjoyed a "Hillenburg Library Video Scavenger Hunt". With only a few more weeks left in our fall book club, we look forward to creating our own book trailers, tweeting to Mr. Grabenstein, playing "Mr. Lemoncello's Great Library Escape Game" and attempting to solve the mysterious final puzzle in the book. Wish us luck!
