THE MONA LISA VANISHES is packed with information. Readers will not only learn that the Mona Lisa was stolen from the Lourve in 1911, but that the museum was protected by laughable security guards and the Paris police presence was nothing short of a mess. There is a ton of information about Leonardo Da Vinci and his many interests besides painting. Spanning from 1452-to the present, this non-fiction book is a true adventure. It is perfect for grades 8+ or anyone interested in art and history.
Author Nicholas Day writes with detail and humor as he takes readers through history. Artist Brett Helquist adds his art to enhance the book's appeal. I highly recommend this one.
