When Julius Caesar invades Britain (in the year 55 BC), young Ludu is forced to give up his job as King Cassivellaunus' charioteer and head to Rome. There in the Circus Maximus, with the help of a formidable Gaulish princess named Sila and a strange Greek publisher, he faces the best racers in the world. But Caesar's conquest of Gaul is underway, and rebellion is in the air. As legions and warbands prepare for the final battle, can Ludu have it all, or must he choose between glory and freedom? Intended age range: 10-14, but enjoyable for older people too. Chariots of Gaul can stand on its own, but is also the third in a series of historical novels set in ancient Rome. The first two are The Roman Conspiracy and The Ancient Ocean Blues.
