“This book is about a boy named Arduino who wants to be a painter. He starts working for Cosimo de Forli. He discovers a man named Donato who is being held in Cosimo’s attic. Cosimo becomes ill. Arduino decides that they should free Donato to save the fresco they were supposed to be painting for the Duke. There are some problems, because at first Cosimo disagrees with Arduino. Then Arduino is suddenly sent home because of Marco’s scheme. But he is able to come back and do the painting with Donato. I liked the entire story!”
