Opening sentence
Dear Reader, If you reading this you are already a time traveller, because this is the year 1894 and Queen Victoria is on the throne.
Luna, Konstanin and Aidan are set to travel through time once again. This time they will be accompanied by the Great Harry Houdini. Their mission – to travel Paris, 1911 and steal the Mona Lisa. But how will they do this when it is securely displayed in The Lourve art gallery? With the help of their new friends Houdini and Vincenzo will they be able to succeed in stealing the Mona Lisa in broad daylight? What other secrets and mysteries has Leonardo Da Vinci left behind for the team to solve? And is The Butterfly Club mission really what they all believe them to be?

This third book in The Butterfly Club series is another exciting read. It does not have the quite the same excitement as the first two books, however, it is still a good read, with short chapters that make it easy to read.

If you have read the first two books you will enjoy this one as well, and will find the connections to the other stories interesting.
