Mr. Lemoncello's Fantabulous Finale {Review]

 


Mr. Lemoncello's at it again.  And this time he's looking for a worthy contestant to take over his entire gaming empire.  Thirteen 13-year olds are invited to take on one last gaming challenge in hopes of taking over the Lemoncello business.  But is someone trying to destroy Mr. Lemoncello's legacy?  Or has Mr. Lemoncello finally gotten in over his head?  Leave it to this new batch of gamers, including fan favorite Kyle Keeley, to crack the mystery in this Fantabulous Finale! 

My kids and I have loved Chris Grabenstein's Mr. Lemoncello from the very beginning.  This wacky character makes mind benders, riddles, and trivia come to life.  And his challenges are always heavily laden with literary characters and storytelling.  We've been hooked from the first book.  While some of the middle novels weren't as engaging, this final plot twist returns to the excitement of the original.  I loved seeing Kyle Keeley come back, and all the new characters were just as original and interesting.  The riddles throughout the book were fun to solve, and the final twists and turns made for a great lesson in teamwork.  It was a very satisfying way to say good-bye to a beloved character.  Mr. Lemoncello is certainly one of a kind.  We love that these books are original, clean, thought provoking, and fun.  We definitely recommend this one to young and old alike.  Happy reading!
