In this book Jack and Annie go to Florence, Italy and look for Leonardo daVinci. Part of the mission was to work for Leonardo after noon through night to find the secret of happiness. When they find Leonardo he is in the middle of a big task. They help him, but what he wants them to do actually ruins what he needed done. Leonardo goes home and wants to leave Florence, Italy. Jack and Annie convince him to stay and to test one of his inventions that he has been waiting to test. The invention was called the Great Bird. He tries it but crashes. Jack and Annie use a wand they got from Merlin. There are special rules that they need to follow. The rules are: it has to be good for others, you have to try your hardest or it won't work, and you have to say it in 5 words. They did try their hardest, it is good for others and they take out the wand and say "make. us. fly. like. birds." Wings appear instead of arms for Jack, Annie and Leonardo. This helps Leonardo fly in the sky because the Great Bird didn't work. This was my favorite part of the book.
I hope you like this book because I did.
