Why is there an "a" between "llevar" and "Linda"?

Question

I read a sentence, "El martes, llevaré a Linda a un restaurante elegante."

I don't know why there is an "a" between "llevar" and "Linda"?

To personify. You use it to make it clear that it's a person and not an object. What you need to learn are the few exceptions. - Tinquen, Jun 25, 2013
