Free Da Wild, Da Crazy, Da Vinci #14 (Time Warp Trio) Ebooks Online
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.

Synopsis: The story starts off with Joe, Fred and Sam standing on a sandy hill with a wooden flying-saucer tank in front of them, that is ready to be fired at them! Soon, they realize that the tank is an invention of Leonardo Da Vinci. They are happy to meet him because they had time traveled just to see him. Since one of his drawings was in "The Book", they thought he would have some answers as to how the book works.However, before they have a chance to talk with him, Captain Nassti barges in and tells Leonardo to invent new machinery for the army, confiscates the book from them, and takes the Time Warp Trio as army volunteers. The Time Warp Trio are subjected to cleaning the outhouse toilet with wooden toothbrushes, which they hate doing! Can they seize the book and escape from the clutches of the evil Captain Nassti and Lord Borgia (who he works for), and see Leonardo Da Vinci once again? Will they finally get the solution as to how the Book works?Review: I thought this was an excellent Time Warp Trio book to read because it had humor, suspense, action, and interesting tidbits that go so well with the series. I found it humorous because of Fred's reaction to Thomas Crapper; suspenseful when the boys try to escape from Captain Nassti; adventurous when the Time Warp Trio and Leonardo help Lord Borgia capture the town of Urbo; and as with other books in the series, was amused by the interesting tidbits on how Joe uses his 'magic' powers to outsmart the Captain. I also enjoyed the educational information that was added about Leonardo Da Vinci's inventions. The illustrations provided by Adam McCauley blend in well with the storyline.
