I hope you like puns, because if you do, this is just the book for you! The characters are wonderfully named - how about Eddipuss for starters? A wonderfully punny story which had me reading the book right through as soon as I received it. SOS (Son of Spartapuss) falls in love with the wondrously named Haireena. After a disastrous first date, Haireena is taken by Emperor Nero's gladiator and we follow their adventures through the Land of the Purramids as they seek treasure at the source of the River Nile. A really funny and beautifully written story, whisking you back to the days of Ancient Rome - a great way to interest children in history. This is No 5 in the Spartapuss series, and if you haven't already read the others, I urge you to do so. www.parentsintouch.co.uk 'It's silly enough that it doesn't feel like a history lesson at all. Fun for teenagers and adults with an interest in ancient history too. 4 stars out of 5' www.thebookbag.co.uk 'A hilarious tale about the ancient world according to cats: this will help increase a love for history for all readers.' nayusreadingcorner
