Customer Reviews

Exciting historical mystery/adventure

I was given this book by a young friend who urged me to read it, saying that she thought I would like the real historical setting (Cicero's Rome) and the fact that all the characters but Aulus and his slave had actually lived in ancient Rome. My friend was right -- I thoroughly enjoyed this lively action-filled novel. It is well written, and the characters are empathetic and believable.

Great history in an exciting story

Jack Mitchell has written a great story about becoming a young man in ancient Rome. Although I haven't finished the book yet, I am already quite drawn in to the characters and want to know what will happen as Spurinna travels to Rome. This book is a real page turner and makes you feel like you are back in time!

great adventure

I liked this book and I think other kids will like it. I saw a website for the book ([...]). There are interactive maps and biographies for the people in the story. I want to read it again now.
