Goodreads

A combination of portal fantasy, historical fiction, and time-travel with a bit of art history. Federico, in sixteenth-century Rome, and Bee, in present-day New Jersey, are linked through a cat that emerges from Leonardo Da Vinci’s mysterious wardrobe. Much like this author’s Newbery Honor-Winning book The Book of Boy, I think it would not work for children-  too confusing. However, it received heaps of starred reviews so perhaps I am missing something. Perhaps I am not the right reader?
