Go back to the start and meet thirteen-year-old, puzzle-obsessed Luigi Lemoncello!

Luigi has a knack for games and puzzles. But sometimes it feels like the cards are stacked against him. Until a carnival arrives in town and Luigi gets the chance of a lifetime—the opportunity to work for the world-famous Professor Marvelmous, a dazzling, banana-hat-wearing barker who puts the show in showman! When the carnival closes, Professor Marvelmous leaves behind a mysterious puzzle box along with a clue. A clue that will lead Luigi and his friends on a fantastical treasure hunt to a prize beyond anything they could imagine—if they can find it!

Can Luigi crack the codes and unlock the box’s secrets? Will there be puzzles? Of course! Balloons? You bet! Will it be fun? Hello! It’s a Lemon-cello! BONUS! Can you solve the hidden puzzle inside?!

The Lemoncello books are laugh-out-loud, puzzle-packed musts for classrooms and homes across America. Look for the whole series!

I especially liked that I could relate to it on a lot of the parts. I lid that it was funny and I really enjoyed it over all. thank you for fighting this wonderful story.😋😋😍😍😀😀😁😁😊😊☺☺😄😄I am very sad that it ended. I've listened to all the lemon cello story's and I love your work. Also write more because I still listen to all of them.

Might be the best one yet!

My family has listened to the entire Lemoncello series and this one was definitely one of our favorites! We are now starting the series over because we didn’t want it to end.

An enjoyable prequel for our favorite series

This is partly my review and partly my son's.

For awhile after this was released, he didn't want to listen to it. He didn't think he'd like hearing about our beloved Mr. Lemoncello as a child. But he finally broke down and agreed to listen to it, and now this has taken it's place alongside the others in the series. We loved it! It's quite different, and yet still feels familiar. And there are so many fun references to the other books to catch. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Now we can't wait to go through all the others again to connect the dots with this one. Loved it!

Ofcourse it is fantabulous, it's a Lemoncello!

We loved the story of the beginning of Luigi and his friends.

The story is brilliantly written and made us giggle and gasp.

We wish we could find out more about the next chapter of how he went from the boy to the man and how his friends, and his family grew and found their passions alongside him.
