Originally written as a screenplay, here are some of the KIDS FIRST!® Adult Juror's comments:
"Having a turtle behind his inventions is a humorous and creative way to get kids' attention. The last scene hooks you - when chaos reins and an invention is formed out of the disaster. Another hook - the tension when da Vinci thinks the turtle is getting baked. This is good, clean fun with a fun ending."

Unique storyline
Fun story with easy reading! Enjoyed the interesting dilemmas that the characters encountered making the reader want to continue on. Loved the interactive digitally enhanced artwork. Good humor and as we all know turtles can live a long time making this fiction story somewhat believable.
Fun journey
This is a true gem for all ages. Great graphics and entertaining storyline. My nephew and niece both enjoyed learning about Leonardo and already want another book. We look forward to more stories.
Love The Secret!
I really enjoyed the story - nice punch line at the end. The 3d artwork was topnotch and the audio glossary and added animations throughout the book were a real plus. Can’t wait for the next one! Agree with ChuckMore on the TV show!
