Daisy and the Missing Mona Lisa
Description
Meet our plucky heroine, Miss Daisy Tannenbaum, almost 13, precocious as ever, and homeschooling in Paris with her Aunt Millicent. Daisy takes a break from Paris and her dreaded math homework and heads to a rambling chateau in the Loire to help her Aunt Mill's friend and fellow former spy, Felix, catalog his art collection. But when Daisy receives a copy of the Mona Lisa as a thank you gift from Felix, strange things start to happen. This Mona is not just any copy, it's one of two perfect forgeries created to fool the Nazis during their hunt for the real Mona Lisa in WWII. Daisy's best friend from the states, Lucia, a newly minted teen model in Paris to audition for the spring runway shows, thinks Daisy's Mona is the real one. Real or not, it's worth a fortune, and when Felix suddenly dies, his family accuses Daisy of stealing it. Daisy must navigate a world of crazy, scheming, frequently criminal adults, not to mention traveling ghosts, ginormous pigs, testy lawyers, former spies, and obnoxious fashionistas, as she finds herself trying to outwit them all to keep her beloved Mona and maybe even become a grande patronesse of the Louvre, the youngest one ever.Product Details

About the Author
Daisy Tannenbaum is the creation of award-winning screenwriter, J.T. Allen. Allen sold his first script while living in Paris and then moved to Los Angeles where he wrote several early drafts of THE LION KING and THE PREACHER'S WIFE. His television credits include TNT's "Geronimo" and "The Good Old Boys", FX's "Redemption" and CBS's "Death in Paradise". The first Daisy Tannenbaum misadventure, DAISY AND THE PIRATES, started as a pitch for a Disney Channel movie. Allen loved the character, who was inspired by his two daughters, and wrote his first novel instead. DAISY IN EXILE, the second in the series, started as Daisy's blog, "My Stupid Journal". The third book, DAISY AND THE MISSING MONA LISA, is coming November 1, 2022. In the meantime, this very instant, Daisy is getting into more mischief while happily avoiding her math homework. She'll no doubt tell Mr. Allen all about it for another book in the Daisy Tannenbaum Misadventure series.
