Discover where it all began . . . Meet Luigi Lemoncello before he was the world's greatest game maker! Thirteen-year-old 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 the 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, the professor leaves behind a mysterious puzzle box along with a clue -- a clue that will lead Luigi and his friends on a fantastical treasure hunt for a prize beyond anything they can 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 LEMONCELLO! The board is set and the game is on in this splendiferous, puzzle-packed story about the boy who became the one and only, the legendary gamemaker himself -- Mr. Lemoncello!
