You flip open the book. "Look! It seems like there is a word hidden here," says Rooky. "Can you make out what it says?"
"I think it's E-X-P-L-O-R-E!" As Rooky spells out the word, the pages begin to flutter furiously.

You lose hold of the book and it drops to the ground. A sudden gust of wind lifts everyone off their feet and sucks them towards the book. "What's happening?" Rooky cries.

You find yourself transported to a mysterious room with many objects. Camy realises that the room is locked. How can you and the Monsters escape?
Let's explore!
Rooky approaches a desk and finds a locked drawer. "Can you work out how to unlock it?" he asks.
"I got 3-1-2! Did you?" Rooky punches the answer in.

Bingo! The drawer opens. "Hey, isn't that book 'The Great Library Escape'? Looks like there's a note in it!" says Hutsy.
NEXT
Hutsy picks up the book and pulls out the note from between its pages.
You successfully piece together the message using the braille chart.
"‘Find my shelf to go home’!" Hutsy reads out. "I think that means we need to find the shelf that this book belongs to."
Find myself to go home
Find my shelf to go home
Mind my shelf to go home
Find my shelf to go down
“Well, it's a children's book, so it belongs in the Children's Section. But we'll need the author's name to find the correct shelf," says Camy. “Could this be the author's signature?”
"I can make out . . . Donnie M. Russett! That means the call number is 'RUS'. Let's go!" Hutsy rushes everyone to the exit.

"Oh no! The door is locked," Zecky frowns. "Seems like it needs a 4-letter passcode," Hutsy observes. "Maybe this riddle will help us?"
"B-O-O-K!" Hutsy enters the code. The door opens into an empty foyer. There is a map directory in the middle of the foyer.

Zecky runs over to study the map directory. “Now, how can we get to the Children’s Section?”
"Down-Right-Up!" Following Zecky's lead, everyone heads to the Children’s Section.
Down, Right, Down
Down, Right
Up, Right
Down, Right, Up
The door to the Children’s Section is locked with a 4-digit code. “I’m sure there’s a clue hidden somewhere on this door!” says Rooky as he studies the illustrations closely.
"Let's see, busy as a bee . . . piece of cake . . . raining cats and dogs . . . spoonful of sugar." Camy fills in the blanks. "That gives us . . . S-E-A-L."
She enters the code and the door clicks open. You all hurry in to find the 'R' shelves.

"This looks like the right shelf!" Rooky calls out to everyone. "This book has the call number 'RUS'. . . Where does it belong?"
"'RUS' should come after 'RUR'!" Rooky slides the book into place.

The bookshelf creaks, shudders, and finally slides open to reveal a glowing portal. “I think this is the way out!” Rooky declares. He cautiously enters and everyone else follows suit.
Let's go!
The bright light fades. You and the Monsters are left blinking at each other. Looking around, you realise that you're back where you started! Everyone heaves a sigh of relief.
