Escape From Mr. Lemonchello's Library: Theme

Recently I have finished reading "Escape from Mr. Lemonchello's Library" by Chris Grabenstein. For me this novel was very relaxing, but I felt as if it wasn't dealing with such a serious topic. I would say that this is also a  very interesting and somewhat original novel, because it is a mystery, although there is no murder involved. Another plus to this book is the way the clues are introduced and made. They grab the reader's attention sort of like a thesis statement, and make him/her think.  

However, it had a good theme which is working together or as a team and that doing so, brings better results than if we are only concerned about ourselves and winning. 

The protagonist of my novel is Kyle Keleey, and all throughout the book he was very persistent, and therefore also a great leader. From the first clue to the last one he kept his teammates together. When they would fight about who would get the clue or what the clue was actually trying to tell them, he was the one that solved all of their problems. There could only be one winner, and even with this in mind, he kept on working as a teammate and never as an individual, which in this case was very good and payed off at the end.
