Book Overview

Meet the Original Prank Artist! Most people think of Leonardo Da Vinci as some old guy painting stuff hundreds of years ago...yet even Da Vinci was once a bold, troublemaking kid who craved adventure--this is his story! Equal parts Sherlock Holmes and Indiana Jones!

Most people think of Leonardo Da Vinci as some old guy painting stuff hundreds of years ago...yet even Da Vinci was once a bold, troublemaking kid who craved adventure--this is his story! Young Leo has spent his childhood exploring art and engineering (and creepy caves) in the freedom of his hometown. But when his long-lost dad drags Leo to an apprenticeship far away, our boy genius soon finds himself out of his depth...and in a city on the brink of war! Fortunately, Leo also finds two new friends who change his life forever: Tano, a charmingly clumsy chum from Africa, and Filomena, a pre-teen patron who funds Leo's latest inventions and always wears a mysterious smile--the smile which will inspire Da Vinci's most famous portrait. Together, Leo, Filomena, and Tano uncover a deadly conspiracy that threatens the entire world...only nobody believes them, since they're "just kids." So Leo and his pals must grab everyone's attention the only way they know how--with elaborate pranks that harness the true power of Art to open eyes and change minds. Equal parts Sherlock Holmes and Indiana Jones, Leo Da Vinci leaps out of history and into our hearts in an epic tale full of action, comedy, and full-color fun!
