Jack and Annie know they have to find one of the four secrets of happiness to help save Merlin. But when the magic tree house whisks them off to a misty island in the middle of nowhere, they wonder how they will find anything. As the fog lifts, they see a huge ship that turns out to be the world's first floating science laboratory. The ship's crew is searching for undiscovered sea creatures–and for the giant sea monster that seems to be following them!

These two stories in Osborne's well-researched educational series introduce children to the world of Leonardo da Vinci, and then to the wonders (and creatures) of the deep sea, as Jack and Annie continue their search for the secret of happiness. Osborne's distinctive voice first ushers children to Italy and the world of da Vinci. Jack and Annie get to be apprentices and so glimpse the odd nature of creative genius. In the second story, Jack and Annie explore the deep sea, boarding the first floating science laboratory. Much of each story unfolds through Jack and Annie's dialogue, which Osborne delivers with precision and consistent characterizations. Osborne also creates a pleasing variety of additional voices, including those of da Vinci and the ship's crew, which fans of this series will appreciate. J.C.G. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
