Bookroo's summary
Sam, Joe, and Fred find themselves in 15th century Italy, facing execution by Leonardo da Vinci for spying on his inventions. With only a few tricks and inventions up their sleeves, they must outsmart the genius to return home. Will they succeed, or be stuck cleaning toilets for the Italian army forever? The stakes are high as they navigate the past, seeking the inventor of the mysterious Book. Can they escape da Vinci's grasp and solve the mystery before it's too late?
From the publisher
You probably know that Leonardo da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa. Didyou know that he also invented an early version of a helicopter and a tank, and that he planned to execute the Time Warp Trio for spying on his inventions? Sam’s bright idea to look for the inventor of the Book takes the guys to 15th century Italy to meet up with Leonardo. But it’s going to take at least three more bright ideas, two magic tricks, and one great invention to get them out of trouble and safely back home. If not, it could be a lifetime of Italian army toilet-cleaning detail for Joe, Sam, and Fred.
