On My Wishlist is a weekly event highlighting a book that I really want to read. The book may be 20 years old, or the pub date may not be until next year, but either way I'm excited about it, and hopefully you will be too!

Synopsis from Goodreads
Kyle Keeley is the class clown, popular with most kids, (if not the teachers), and an ardent fan of all games: board games, word games, and particularly video games. His hero, Luigi Lemoncello, the most notorious and creative gamemaker in the world, just so happens to be the genius behind the building of the new town library.
Lucky Kyle wins a coveted spot to
be one of the first 12 kids in the library for an overnight of fun, food, and
lots and lots of games. But when morning comes, the doors remain locked. Kyle
and the other winners must solve every clue and every secret puzzle to find the
hidden escape route. And the stakes are very high.
In this cross between Charlie
and the Chocolate Factory and A Night in the Museum, Agatha Award
winner Chris Grabenstein uses rib-tickling humor to create the perfect tale for
his quirky characters. Old fans and new readers will become enthralled with the
crafty twists and turns of this ultimate library experience.
Taking place in a library, is there any wonder why I want to read it?
So, what do you think? Is it one that you'd like to add to your wish list? Have you already read it?
