Jack and Annie travel back in time once again to meet Leonardo da Vinci and quickly learn that hanging out with the premier genius of the Renaissance is a major adventure! Although the book did have a slightly slow start (really, we didn't need to meet everyone in the marketplace just so we could have them tell us we just missed Leonardo), my daughter and I were quickly caught up in the power of da Vinci's whirling mind. Plus, I love that it ignited even more interest in da Vinci's work as she felt like she's been given a peek into the man himself.

Exciting plots, cool historical details, and lively characters - that's how this chapter book series works its magic. And I know our family will be eagerly waiting for the next installment.
