Course Description

Can your learner solve the clues, think outside the box, and escape the world's most incredible library? In this five-week interactive Book Builders class, learners will dive into Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library by Chris Grabenstein through lively discussions, reading, hands-on building challenges, and creative problem-solving activities. Together, we'll explore a library unlike any other—filled with secret passages, mind-bending puzzles, exciting games, and unexpected twists. Each live class includes guided discussion, opportunities to make predictions, analyze clues, explore character choices, and connect events throughout the story. Learners will also complete a STEM-inspired building challenge each week using building bricks, magnetic tiles, blocks, or other construction materials they already have at home. From designing incredible libraries to creating puzzle rooms and secret escape routes, every challenge encourages creativity while connecting directly to the week's reading. Between classes, learners will continue reading assigned chapters independently so our live meetings can focus on discussion, collaboration, critical thinking, and hands-on learning rather than simply reading aloud. Along the way, we'll practice making inferences, supporting ideas with evidence from the text, solving problems, and thinking like real detectives. Whether your learner already loves chapter books or is looking for an exciting reason to read more, this class brings literature to life through imagination, engineering, and adventure. By the end of the course, learners won't just finish an unforgettable story, they'll have strengthened their reading comprehension, confidence, creativity, and problem-solving skills while having fun every step of the way.
