Secret Scouts and the Lost Leonardo – This new book is today’s version of The Goonies and The Da Vinci Code. The authors have fond memories of the 1980s—a time when feel-good “friends for life” groups were common themes among favorite films and novels. To quote the authors themselves: “A unique feature of the Secret Scouts series is that the 80s-inspired, feel-good adventure stories are based on intriguing and strange facts from history, which make them very informative. But because fact and fiction intertwine in very realistic storylines, Secret Scouts is just as entertaining and easy to read as other well-known, accessible, and popular fantasy stories.”Check out the movie-like book trailer here and order your copy of this book for the Kindle or Hard Copy today!
