YOUNGER FICTION
Scieszka, Jon

Da Wild, Da Crazy, Da Vinci

(4) 1-3 Time Warp Trio series. Illustrated by Adam McCauley. Narrator Joe and friends Fred and Sam time-travel to Renaissance Italy where they meet Leonardo. The central conflict--the boys must create an invention for the Italian army or face conscription--seems like a pro forma plot device in this short novel whose primary appeal is its fast pace, silly humor, and constant action. Arch, cartoony black-and-white art appears throughout.
