Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library by Chris Grabenstein

Escape From Mr. Lemoncello’s Library by Chris Grabenstein is realistic fiction and is the first book

in a three-book series.

Kyle Keeley is a normal kid who lives in Ohio.  But when his favorite game maker, Luigi L. Lemoncello,
comes to town, his life is anything but normal.  Mr. Lemoncello offers an opportunity for some kids to
compete in a contest in his new and amazing library, and Kyle just has to enter.  He races to the end -
but will he win the promised prizes and fame?

I liked the book because Chris Grabenstein made it fun and exciting, making you want to read and
find out more.  My favorite character is Mr. Lemoncello because he’s really fun and wacky.

If you like libraries, racing, and most of all, humor, I recommend this book for you!

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is an amazing fantasy book by Roald Dahl. This book is about a little boy named Charlie, who wins the Golden
Ticket! That means that he has a 1 in 5 chance to win a lifetime
supply of chocolate. Together, he and his grandpa go on an exciting
journey through Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory!

I liked this book because it is funny, and it is really interesting as well.
My favorite character is Charlie because he is caring, and he is
nice to everyone even though they’re not nice to him.

I recommend this book to anyone who likes The BFG, The Fantastic
Mr. Fox, James and the Giant Peach, The Twits, or The Witches.
If you like any of those books, then you will love this one!
