Chris Grabenstein’s book, Mr. Lemoncello’s Library Olympics was spectacular. I definitely enjoyed reading this 266 page adventure. I relished this book because it was based on competition- and if you don’t know me I live for competition. I definitely connected with the main character- Kyle Keeley because he will do anything to beat his opponent(s), which includes him running through a thorny rose bush, destroying a few petunias, hurdling some shrubs, and “accidentally breaking a basement window,” just to beat his brothers in a single board game. I haven’t done anything to that extreme, but if there is a “win” on the line, there’s no doubt I might wreck a few things blocking my path. Throughout the book Mr. Lemoncello’s Library Olympics there were many marvelous parts, but there was one that I liked best. My favorite part was when Kyle and Mr. Peckleman had huge stakes on a deal they made. If Kyle got Mr. Peckleman’s riddle wrong, then Woodrow “Woody” Peckleman would burn some of the most popular books from Mr. Lemoncello’s world-known library, burn 32 “go-to-college-free” cards which would crush his new fellow “Library Olympian” friend’s spirits, and as it says in the book: “Mr. Lemoncello” (the gazillionaire) “is going to leave town and his awesomely incredible library will get turned into Mrs. Borington’s Snoozeville Book Depository.” If Kyle Keeley answered the riddle correctly then Woody would not …show more content…
My mother read Mr. Lemoncello’s Library Olympics book and she answered “it was a captivating read, filled with adventure and easily relatable to teens” when I asked her about her thoughts on the book. I wouldn't suggest this wonderful book to you, unless you have read the first book in the series- Escape From Mr. Lemoncello’s Library. If you have read Escape From Mr. Lemoncello’s Library, then Mr. Lemoncello’s Library Olympics will be a super special read for you, just like it was for
This book starts from a basic backstory, and then piecemeal goes and becomes a very interesting story that you can’t put down. The first part of the book talks about the main character, Kyle Keely. In his school, there was a competition on who would write a better essay about public libraries. Kyle didn’t know about this until the last minute. He quickly wrote his essay on the way to school and turned it in. Kyle was one of the twelve people who won! Since he won, he, along with eleven other children, would get to see the new public library that was made by Mr. Lemoncello and his assistant Dr. Zinchenko. When the winners arrived at the library, they were immediately greeted by Dr. Zinchenko. They were then greeted with their first challenge. After the first challenge was over, they had a new task at
I would recommend this book to people who love realistic stories. Personally for me it is hard to find books that interest me and this one felt like if I was watching someone else's life while I read it. It has so many interesting points. When you think something might happen
...Maybe is an extraordinary novel. For middle-aged men and women, the setting of the story would bring back memories of their childhoods and cause feelings of nostalgia, showing that life passes almost too quickly. Honestly, any reader between the ages of 16 to 80 would be able to read this book. The vocabulary is easy, the diction is accurate and the book structure, for the most part, keeps the book flowing smoothly. The characters have a timeless quality to them, causing anybody to be able to relate to at least one or two of them, and each aspect of the book is so realistic that I could have been convinced that the story was based on real life events. This book was beautifully written and so if it was not out of print and unbelievably hard to get a hold of, I would recommend it to anyone in need of a captivating book to read.
Since 776 BCE, the Olympics have been a way for people of different cultures to come together and compete in friendly competition. In 1892 the first modern Olympics were held in Athens, although it had been over a thousand years since the last game it still had brought together an assortment of different religions and ethnic groups together. Many factors shaping the Olympic Games reflect the changes that have taken place in our world since the last game in 393 CE in Greece such changes include woman’s suffrage, global economy, world wars, and proving competency.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book. It was a topic that was applicable to kids my age and it used a variety of styles and rhetorical appeals to drive the purpose and engage the readers. I would recommend this book to other kids my age to inform them of the serious consequences of such practices like starving yourself.
Kiera Cass used good word choice and described parts of her book in great detail, her dialog was very good as well. The plot of the book was easy to follow and predictable, but the book would have not been as good if she got second place and it would be difficult for the author to write a sequel series. Cass did include some creative twists on the usual love story including a knee to the thigh, book stealing rebels, and creative tasks the girls had to pass to move on in the competition. Kiera Cass could have developed her setting and characters much better over the course of the three book series because I felt like I still couldn’t fully picture the characters in my mind. A few more descriptive paragraphs on each character and the setting would have made the book much more enjoyable. The book was a fast read because there wasn’t a whole lot of detail. The book was really fun to read and a refreshing change from the usual books I read, but because of the missing detail, I have to give this book three point five out of five stars. Although there were obvious mistakes, I would recommend this book because I loved this book and have already read it
Finish, Finish, Go, and Go you just set the new world record. Every four years lots of people gather around a pool cheering for Olympians. It is a very noisy place. A lot of Olympians that are part of the summer Olympics are very athletic, they swim all year around. The swimming Olympic history and background is very interesting. They have done so many new things over that past couple of years. They come out with new rules every year to make things more fair and challenging. There are a lot of events and tons of records that have been broke. A lot of Olympians have set future goals to stride for. I was swimming the 200 meter fly I was at a really good time when I had 50 meter sprint left at the end all I could think about was I’m going to set the new world record. Olympic swimming is a very fun sport it is very athletic. Every year in the summer time every one always sits around a TV watching this it is very famous in America. Swimmers from all around the world come and here and compete. There is a lot of competition there I have found out a lot about the history of swimming. There are a lot of events and tons of records that have been broke. A lot of Olympians have set future goals to stride for.
“Give 2024 Boston Olympics a chance!” was invoked on social network, after Mayor Marty Walsh announced 2024 Boston Olympic bid. Due to the hundred years of development, the Olympic spirit has influenced and inspired generation after generation. Now, the Olympics is not only a athletic match, but also a stage for the host to show off. Hosting the Olympics in Boston would provide a wonderful opportunity to build a valuable legacy not only for Boston, but also for the Olympic movement. The 2024 Boston Olympic Games should be held to enhance quality of life for the residents in the greater Boston region.
Is a book about exactly what the e title says, escaping Mr. Lemoncello’s library? In the book, Kyle, the main character, gets chosen to stay overnight in a new library after sending in an essay as to why he should be picked. When he goes in, though h, not everything is as it seems. Even though his chances of getting picked where low, the hard part isn’t getting in, it’s getting out. The library was made by Mr. Lemoncello, the famous game designer. He creates all kinds of wacky games, and his Libra rye will be no different. The 12 student’s chi open to stay overnight find many things. Games, books, a food area, almost anything. Then, they go to sleep. When they wake up, they all go to the door so that they
My recommendation for this book would be that this book is just a fun read, nothing to serious. But yet it's a book were its easy to relate to were a lot of the situations that happen in the book happen in young teenage life as well. Like for example the desperation to fit in. kids will do most likely anything to be part of "the cool group" hopefully not take some sort of pill that will talk to you in your head. But other things like being pressured into talking drugs. Sneaking out of the house to go to some party and not coming back until the next day at dawn without getting caught. These days we do so much and our parents know so little.
The Olympic Games plays a significant role in the world. The relationship between it and host countries is important to investigate for comprehending cultural studies. According to Xu and Kirby (2008), the Olympic Games has a considerable impact on the expression of national identity. For example, London applied this approach to promote its national identity. This can be discovered from the BBC video called James Bond escorts The Queen to the opening ceremony in 2012 (2012): an amiable identity is perceived by the audience through presenting corgi at Buckingham Palace. Moreover, China is no exception. There is an image about the opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympics, it shows a spectacular drumming performance. In addition, an article about
Imagine that you are a competitor in the Ancient Olympic Games and you have been dreaming about winning them for many years to come. You are stretching and jumping to warm up and then the sacred stone is dropped. Your event starts, and you start sprinting as fast as you can. You are getting ready for your long jump, gaining speed you are approaching the jump line. You approach and jump 10 feet, 20 feet, 25 feet, and you land dropping at 29 feet, 6 inches. A rumble of applause roars over the stadium as all the attention is on you. The winner's crown is placed on your head. The mythical gods especially Zeus were the reasons that the games were held, wide varieties of people including rich, poor, and average wealth visited, and many events were held such as the pentathlon.
I thought this was a really splendid book . This story is about a boy, named Rafe Khatchadorian who just wants to have fun with his 6th grade year. He really dislikes school and devises a plan to make the school year as amusing for himself as possible. His plan he devised , with his imaginary named leo, is that he will try and make into a game by trying to break every rule in the rule book and depending on how intense/ hard the rule is to break he will get more or less points, and he has a goal of points he is trying to get by the end of the year that leo makes up. He can also get special points from stuff that happens throughout the year. This book had me hooked from the beginning, because at some points it was intense and at other points it was kind of serious, so it was a good mix not to much action and not too much sadness. I also really like the author, James Patterson. He has many other works including Wizard and Witch, Along Came a Spider, and many more.
The Olympics are a sporting event that have become coveted by the best athletes around the globe. Thousands of people attempt to qualify each year and only the best of the best have a chance at becoming competitors. Choosing a venue for such a prestigious event is challenging. Major cities like Beijing and Los Angeles have held the games in the past. Cities place bids to see if they can snag a chance at hosting. In 1996, Atlanta was chosen to be the host city of the Summer Olympics. The largest physical reminder of the event is Centennial Olympic Park, located in the heart of downtown Atlanta. The park finished construction right before the Olympics began and was a spectacular improvement to the area. Beautifully paved and manicured, it was perfect for tourists and Atlanta residents alike to mingle and discuss the games.
Lemony Snicket does an amazing job putting lessons into stories that are completely disastrous. It is quite phenomenal how he puts the story into a way that makes you so anxious to read, even if you don’t enjoy reading. Overall, this is in my top five favorite books ever read. The rising action, climax, and falling action show how the most amazing moments in your life can become the opposite in only a month. The combination of stress, anxiety, and curiosity in the children’s lives could lead anyone to insanity. Put yourself in their shoes, what would you do if you were driven to
