McCarthy, Meghan

Steal Back the Mona Lisa!

40 pp. | Harcourt | October, 2006 | Trade ISBN 0-15-205368-9 $16.00
(3) K-3 Crooks with a mustache fetish have nabbed the Mona Lisa, and Jack must rescue her famous smile from certain defacement (of the handlebar variety). McCarthy's text is knowingly self-conscious--and funny. She hams it up with lines straight out of an old radio drama ("Is the Mona Lisa doomed?"). Noirish illustrations show off Jack's swell gadgets (insta-blimp cord, laser light, etc.).
