Each of the winning teams must make it through five different rooms by solving a puzzle to unlock each room and BREAK OUT! But nothing is ever as it seems with Mr. Lemoncello, and the surprises in store just might stump even the game master himself. The clock is ticking! Can Kyle and his friends crack the codes in time to win Mr. Lemoncello’s ultimate game show?
The Good
Kyle and his teammates work together to win. They realize that Charles has a reason behind why he acts, and they try to help him act better towards everyone.
The Bad
Charles cheats. His team visits the Horror genre, check out Chapter 27. There is a little bit of romance between the Kidzapalooza stars.
Ages
9+ is a good age for this book. It’s also a great read-aloud.
My Take
I enjoyed the fourth book in the Mr. Lemoncello series. I think I liked it the best out of all the other books. I really liked that Chris Grabenstein made Kyle realize why Charles acted the way he does. It shows that there is a reason why people are mean and that being kind to them is how you can help them change. For the third book, click here. For the first book in the series, click here.
