Will you like it?
I truly enjoyed this book. It centered around teams coming to Mr. Lemoncello's library to compete in the library olympics. I loved how this book combined the Olympics, intellectual freedom, and banned books. The ending was pretty good, but definitely written for younger kids.
I loved the narrator. This narrator also read the Percy Jackson novels, so it also felt like Percy was telling this story as well.
Disclosure: I borrowed a copy of the audiobook from my local library.
