Leonardo's Shadow [or My Astonishing Life as Leonardo da Vinci's Servent ]
Teen Fiction
Giacomo is Leonardo's assistant and he has a very interesting story to tell you. All about a little painting called The Last Supper, In 1497 Leonardo should have finished it, but he's been taking his sweet time in doing so. The Duke on Milan is on the verge of bringing in a fresh new talent, Michelangelo, to finish it if Leonardo won't. If that happens Giacomo is going to have his hands full as Leonardo owes everybody money. In the midst of all this, Giacomo wants nothing more than to learn who his parents are; but Leonardo remains mum on the subject and Giacomo comes up with his own theory of what is going on both in his life and why his master won't complete the painting.

Meeka says:
An interesting tale with humour and twists that keep you guessing as to what is really going on; both for Giacomo's parentage and Leonardo's work ethic. A fun book for anyone who wanted to know a little more about the history of the Last Supper.
