Da Vinci's Cat

This book should have been a slam dunk for me and it just wasn't. Time travel, Renaissance artists, cats.

The plot is convoluted, the initial character is pretty unlikeable, and needed far better editing.

I almost DNFed this as an adult with a strong interest in this topic. I am really struggling to see who this was written for because I can't think of one regular in my library who I would recommend this to. More specifically, I cannot think of any middle schooler who would be continuously engaged by the writing.
