Mrs. Zuber's favorite so far!!! is currently reading Escape From Mr. Lemoncello’s Library
So far she is enjoying the games!
Okay, incredible on so many levels!!! This is an author that I may have to investigate further!!! This has puzzles for reader and characters, PUNS galore, which you know I love, mystery, humor, adventure, competition, and technology!! The characters are incredible, the plot is original...I could go on and on and on!! Author names are dropped like powdered sugar on donuts. So many literary references, and so many reasons to read!
If the students out there read this one, at this point, it is my pick to take the trophy!
The ending completely tied back to the beginning... Kyle wrote an essay about balloons at the grand opening of the library and the last line of the book is..."There might be balloons." The balloons popped up several times throughout the story.
I also liked how the author gave a run down of all the books he used in the story and why he used them...they were mostly award winners. :-) He gave an interview in the back and a lot of other "bonus info."
PUNS: "Well, great Gilly Hopkins," said the Limoncello gummy, "here you go!" (notice some dialogue rules for punctuation and capitalization here?)
"Keep working the puzzle but try to avoid Mrs. sail E. Frankweiler's files. They're all mixed up."
ALLITERATION: "We want to win this game," said Kyle.
"We were supposed to write why we're excited about the grand opening and, well, balloons are always my favorite part." (also this is the beginning I talked about going back to the ending...)
METAPHORS: Well the whole book is a metaphor for "Life is a game."
"We have books, which are windows into worlds we never even dreamed possible."
"An open mind is an open book." (also an idiom ;-) )
SIMILE: "The smarmy guy was oilier than a soggy sack of fries."
"My hands feel flatter than a pancake," she moaned.
