Maria Marples Time Hopper: Marbles of Ancient Rome

By Mark Argentieri

When Maria Marples accidentally finds her Nonna's diary she expects a good read... not to open a portal to Ancient Rome.

In this first adventure of the Maria Marples: Time Hopper series, Maria is swept into a bustling world of gladiators, emperors, chariot races, friendly Roman children, and mythical creatures. With every step, she uncovers clues about a mysterious power hidden inside her marble collection - a power that could change history itself.

But Ancient Rome isn't all sunshine and laurel wreaths. Maria must chase her magical marble through markets, temples, and grand arenas before the portal home closes for good. Along the way, she learns about bravery, friendship, and what it truly means to believe in herself.

Perfect for ages 6-10, this magical, fast-paced adventure blends real history with imaginative storytelling, making it ideal for curious young readers who love time travel, mystery, and colourful ancient worlds.
