“Come travel again with Logan and Winston as they journey through Europe to solve another mystery. This time a piece of classic art. As they travel through time with the Magic Bone, Logan and Winston meet and collect a group of new animals to join them as they go on their search. Christine Ricci McNamee and Amy Avery Smith team up to create a delightful adventure with illustrations that pop out of the book and words that delight and encourage readers to continue on as a member of the group to discover the classic masterpiece.”

“Logan and the Missing Masterpiece” is a delightful adventure-travelogue where Logan and his brother search around the world for the missing Mona Lisa. At each location, they’re joined by animal friends who look for clues to the missing masterpiece. Children will enjoy seeing the brilliant illustrations of: Paris, the Black Forest of Germany, Marrakesh, the Great Pyramids of Egypt, Budapest, Venice, and Vienna. Animal lovers will take great pleasure in seeing all the animal friends come together to solve the mystery. I highly recommend this book as it provides a lesson in the power of friendship and a glimpse of scenes from around the world.”
