Escape from Mr. Lemoncello’s Library

게임을 너무나 좋아하는 열두 살 카일은 형들과 보드게임을 하다가 창문을 부수는 바람에 일주일간 ‘게임 금지’, ‘외출 금지’ 벌을 받는다. 그런데 게임을 못해서 우울해하던 카일에게 한 가지 희소식이 들려온다. 며칠 뒤 마을의 공공 도서관이 새로 문을 여는데, 개관 행사로 열두 명의 열두 살 아이들을 도서관으로 초대해 밤새 책과 영화도 보고, ‘게임’도 한다는 것이다! 한 가지 더 놀라운 사실은 새 도서관의 설계자가 카일이 가장 존경하는, 전 세계적으로 유명한 게임 개발자 레몬첼로 씨였던 것! 카일은 레몬첼로 씨가 설계를 맡은 만큼 도서관이 얼마나 즐겁고 기발할지 한껏 기대에 부푼다. 우여곡절 끝에 열두 명 안에 뽑힌 카일은 하룻밤 동안 도서관에 머물며 최첨단 시설들을 체험하고, 레몬첼로 회사의 게임들을 마음껏 하면서 즐거운 시간을 보낸다.
