It takes place in alexandriaville, ohio (not a real place, but a real cutesy reference, one of many peppering this book), whose town library was demolished 12 years ago. ![]() or, as one character says, "It'll be like The Hunger Games but with lots of food and no bows or arrows." This is the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for book- and puzzle-nerds. ![]()
