ABOUT LEO INVENTOR EXTRAORDINAIRE
A school for incredibly gifted orphans. A genius kid
inventor. A subterranean maze. And a mechanical
monkey. What could go wrong?
A “lifer” at the secluded Academy of Florence, Leo has never
met his parents ... or anyone in his family for that matter. He
spends most of his time tinkering with inventions that never
work (or work disastrously) and making trouble with his
infinitely more charming friend and fellow lifer, Savvy. After
Leo’s latest experiment goes catastrophically wrong, he
discovers a series of secret passages beneath the school that
can only be unlocked by the sharpest of wits and a little help
from Leo’s school lessons.
Leo hopes the network of tunnels will lead him to the
academy’s infamous archives where he hopes to discover the
identities of his parents and the reason he’s an orphan in the
first place. Instead, he finds that his past and possibly even
his
future is somehow linked to the innovative Wynn Toys
company, whose genius president died mysteriously years
before.
Leo must use his skills as an inventor to revive the
toy company, oust its dastardly leader, and discover
the fate of his real family.
