Synopsis

Mira travels around the world—and into the past—in search of her missing mother, visiting the Wonders of the Modern World. Illustrated with line drawings from Mira's very own sketchbook.

A new postcard from her time-traveling mother points Mira to the 16th century Rome. But before she can rescue her mom, she must follow the clues left around the city to find Giordano Bruno, a famous thinker and mathematician, who discovered something so shocking that important Italian officials don't want it revealed. All the while avoiding the Watchers—time-traveling police who want Mira back in her own time.

It's another whirlwind adventure for Mira, and this time she is determined to bring her mother out of the past.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Mira s mother has gone missing! To rescue her, she must travel to 16th Century Rome but can she protect her new friends from evil Madame Lefoutre? Written like a journal and illustrated with sketches, notes, and memorabilia such as postcards and ticket stubs, Mira s Diary takes readers around the globe to view the Wonders of the World through the eyes of a 13-year-old girl. Mira, her older brother Malcolm, and her photographer father are traveling the world to document the Modern Wonders and search for Mira s missing mother. While visiting Paris, the family receives a postcard from their mother sent from Rome. The postcard gives Mira instructions for when she next time-travels; an ability Mira has inherited from her mother. When they arrive in Rome, Mira is transported to the 16th century in the disguise of a boy. Mira is befriended by the painter Caravaggio and other artists and scientists. But this is an era where many are suspicious of forward thinking individuals. Mira s instructions from her mother are to try and protect her new friends from the evil Madame Lefoutre. If she succeeds she and her mother can be reunited.
