Hi! The seventh book in the Lemoncello series, Mr. Lemoncello's Fantabulous Finale came out last November (2024) here in the USA. (I'm not sure where you are) It's available for sale everywhere. The paperback version will come out this September (2025). You might need to ask your librarians to purchase a copy. Thanks!

I don't think so...but you never know.

My first book with JP was DANIEL X: ARMAGEDDON, the fifth book in that series. All in all, we have co-authored 37 books together. Six new books will be coming out this year. Visit my facebook page and scroll through the photos to see my New Year posting about the books coming in 2025

Yes. In 2025, we'll see the start of a new puzzle mystery series with Ms. Pennypickle's Puzzle Quest. I also co-authored a Murdle novel for young readers Sleuths On The Loose. The Mr. Lemoncello's Library Olympics graphic novel comes out in 2025 as do Stinky's Stories #3 and #4 -- The Three Smelly Goats Gruff and Moldy Locks and the Three Bears.

Yes! On 10-1-24, a brand new series for early readers (ages 6-10) will be coming out: STINKY'S STORIES. Fun and funny fractured fairy tales narrated by Stinky, a skunk stuffie, who lives on the shelves of an elementary school library. Two books will come out at once: THE BOY WHO CRIED UNDERPANTS and JACK AND THE BEANSTINK. You can learn more on my website chrisgrabenstein.com.
Then, on election day, 11-5-24, the final book in the current Lemoncello series will come out -- MR. LEMONCELLO'S FANTABULOUS FINALE. Thirteen kids compete to inherit Mr. Lemoncello's entire empire. There will be one big winner! You can read more about this new book on my website, too!

I'm so glad you're enjoying Zack's adventures in the Haunted Mysteries series. Those were my first books for younger readers. There are four in the series altogether. Read on! And I do it word by word!
Chris Grabenstein
I don't think that would be possible. But pick up the graphic novel. It's like a storyboard for movie you can hold in your hand!

Mr. Lemoncello's Fantabulous Finale will come out on Election Day, Tuesday, November 5, 2024. It picks up where MR. LEMONCELLO AND THE TITANIUM TICKET left off. And when you figure out who the one big winner is...shhh...don't tell anybody and ruin the surprise!

Hard to pin down one best day. I've been writing professionally since 1984. First commercials for TV and radio. Now books (with 76 published so far). I am happy to say that I get a good feeling every day when the writing is flowing. And that's most days. So, do something you love and you'll never have to work a day in your life.

Very smart questions. I think the 4th book in the Max Einstein series was the last. However, Mr. Patterson may change his mind. There will not be a 4th book in the SMARTEST KID series.
Chris Grabenstein
Thanks! I'm glad you love my books. Right now, there are no plans for a Smartest Kid #4.
Chris Grabenstein
Yes! MR. LEMONCELLO'S FANTABULOUS FINALE will come out in 2024. The graphic novel version of MR. LEMONCELLO'S LIBRARY OLYMPICS is scheduled for 2025. My wife and I will be launching a new series for younger readers called STINKY'S STORIES, all about a stuffed skunk in a school library who helps the kids use their imaginations to create fun new endings to classic stories. And I'm working on a new idea for a puzzletastic series!

Hi! Thanks for reading every one of my books! Sadly, there won't be a Dog Squad Three. Fred's story is done. But check my web site for fun new titles coming out in the future!

20 things that Mr. Lemoncello said, 20 things that you just read, were not allowed at one time to be read because of what some people said.
Mr. Lemoncello is famous for dropping book titles into his conversations. He did it twenty times in the second book. What were the book titles and, most importantly, what do those 20 titles have in common???

I'm not sure. I forget what the sorting hat told me. I should call up Dumbledore and see if he remembers...
Chris Grabenstein
I prefer my potters with less facial hair.
Chris Grabenstein
BOTH! Simon and Kyle will both be in MR. LEMONCELLO'S FANTABULOUS FINALE. So will some other longtime friends plus some new characters, too!
Chris Grabenstein
I am married. My wife and I wrote the book SHINE! together and have a new series, STINKY'S STORIES, coming out in 2024. Yes, I love writing. I've had fun doing it since I was ten!
Chris Grabenstein
Thank you. Have you tried playing Mr. Lemoncello's first letters game with all the chapters in Book #1???
