Summary
Agatha Award-Best Children's/Young Adult
Amazon Best of the Year
A New York Times bestseller.
Kyle Keeley is the class clown, popular with most kids, (if not the teachers), and an ardent fan of all games: board games, word games, and particularly video games. His hero, Luigi Lemoncello, the most notorious and creative game maker in the world, just so happens to be the genius behind the building of the new town library.
Lucky Kyle wins a coveted spot to be one of the first 12 kids in the library for an overnight of fun, food, and lots and lots of games. But when morning comes, the doors remain locked. Kyle and the other winners must solve every clue and every secret puzzle to find the hidden escape route. And the stakes are very high.
In this cross between Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and A Night in the Museum, Agatha Award winner Chris Grabenstein uses rib-tickling humor to create the perfect tale for his quirky characters. Old fans and new listeners will become enthralled with the crafty twists and turns of this ultimate library experience.

Underwhelming - probably works better in print
This really didn't work for me. To start with, its obviously designed for an American audience as most of the "famous people" & "famous authors" mentioned are American, this makes following the games for an English 10 year old (albeit a very well read one) rather difficult as you don't know who the heck they are.
When games and clues are read out, at various points of the book, you often get a list of letters, or list of descriptions of flash cards (baby, hat, baseball player) and my brain just turned off and let the words flow over and around me. This again made it very difficult to play the games along with the main characters. Obviously, if you are reading an ACTUAL book it would be much easier as you could see the letters in print. There is a lot of this by the way. So much that I asked if we could return the book and get something else ... my son wanted to know the end so I had to grit my teeth. But even he admitted this isn't a keeper.
The characters are American standard models too; cheerleader, nerd, ruthless rich kid. Meh.
Its a shame really. The descriptive passages of the library are fantastic - very Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory - and the premise is great. It just doesn't work very well as an audiobook.
