(4) YA Abby feels constrained by her normal, predictable life--until she meets Dante, a mysterious exchange student who turns out to be Leonardo da Vinci's apprentice, exiled (along with his betrayer) from his own time for a crime he didn't commit. Mangum adds some interesting new elements to the girl-next-door-falls-for-supernatural-hunk trope du jour, but her emotional plot lines are more convincing than her speculative ones.
