Review

"Krull convincingly portrays her subject, noting the Renaissance man's remarkably far-reaching accomplishments while also conveying his humanity and sense of humor. She places him in the context of his times...[and] the vital link between science and art that endured throughout Leonardo's life...With an inviting, conversational narrative...this series launches with an impressive start."-- "Publishers Weekly (starred review)""The breezy text draws heavily from Leonardo's own writings, discussing his groundbreaking forays into anatomy, water management and flight, always propelled by a commitment to direct scientific observation. That Krull manages, in some 100-plus text pages, to present Leonardo's scientific accomplishments while at the same time conveying a sense of the man himself...is no mean feat and bodes well for the succeeding volumes in the series."-- "Kirkus Reviews (starred review)""With a totally captivating opening and a conversational writing style...the book moves along at a steady clip and adds details to bring da Vinci and his times to life...Readers will come away from this accessible volume with an understanding of who Leonardo was and a desire to know more about this fascinating, brilliant man."-- "School Library Journal (starred review)"
