The coin is warm again - and this time it drops Maximus into a Roman schoolroom, right as an important patron arrives to decide which student's education is worth funding for years to come. Racing to keep up with Paulina, a gifted but poor student whose family can barely afford her lessons, Maximus learns wax-tablet writing, abacus arithmetic, and recitation the real Roman way - right up until a jealous classmate wipes her carefully practiced work clean the night before the patron's visit, with almost no time left to recover. Packed with real Roman classroom history - plus three hands-on crafts, a quiz, a Latin phrasebook, and dozens of bonus facts - **Maximus and the Ludus** is Book Fifteen inthe Maximus Through Time series, and the longest adventure yet at a full 60 pages. Includes an extra-large back matter section: glossary, timeline, character bios, discussion questions, and much more.
