FROM SARAH:

With plenty of humor and historical detail woven into every page, readers will experience the wonders and challenges of Rome through the eyes of a brave young girl in this illustrated chapter book. Heads up that this story has some mature themes, so I'd recommend it for readers ten and up.

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

Iliona never imagined that her sea voyage from Greece to Egypt would lead to Rome, but when she is captured by pirates and auctioned off as a slave, that’s where she lands. Readers are invited to view the wonders of Rome through Iliona’s eyes—the luxury, the excess, and the politics.
