Book 9 in a series which has sold over 900,000 copies since first publication in September 2001. No comparable series exists and we have 16 titles contracted. The Romans are part of National Curriculum Key Stages 1 and 2. Terrific storytelling combined with authentic historical detail. Rights to have been sold in 17 territories. Inspiration for the prime time BBC TV series. Series described as 'immensely readable' by the Times Educational Supplement. On 'Secrets of Vesuvius' - 'an interesting and exciting read that is extremely well researched. It is packed with accurate detail of everyday Roman life. The story is so well paced and involving that you don't realise just how much information you are absorbing.' School Librarian
