Julius and the Mona Lisa

Fresh from their adventure on the Titanic with their time-shifting Uncle Julius, twins, Vicky and Josh, learn that the Mona Lisa which has been hanging in the Louvre since 1914 is a forgery! Determined to restore the original painting to its proper place in the museum, they persuade their uncle Julius to take them back in time again to the night it was stolen. Once back in Paris, they meet Picasso and his friend, Apollinaire, and learn of the part they played in the theft.

Along the way they also come into contact with the notorious Black Hand Gang, the terrorist group responsible for the assassination of the Archduke Ferdinand and the start of the First World War. Julius is unwillingly drawn into helping them with their schemes, but he has other plans.

Will the twins be able to recover the original Mona Lisa and get it back to the Louvre? Will Julius be able to avoid getting caught up in murder? It all depends on how far they can fool Leonatus and Lucrecia, two evil members of another time-shifting family with their own ideas of how history should be rewritten.
Carefully researched, this fast-paced and exciting adventure will appeal not only to fans of time-travel, but also to anyone who wants to discover more about the greatest theft of the twentieth century!

'Julius and the Mona Lisa' is another story in the Julius series.
