FROM SARAH:

This is a delightful middle-grade mystery set on the streets of Ancient Rome! Get a sneak peek into Roman ways of life and solve a page-turning puzzle all while getting to know a hilarious cast of characters. Head's up that there are a few references to slavery that could be important conversation-starters for your family.

FROM THE PUBLISHER: 

In these two delightful history-mysteries, seven boys in Ancient Rome solve strange crimes . . . thanks to some help from their cranky teacher, a little bit of logic, and a lot of amusing misadventure.
