Reviews
This book is perfect to accompany KS2 learning about Ancient Greece and would make an ideal class reader... A super way to enthuse children for the period, with plenty of excitement and action to keep them hooked - and they will learn so much historical detail to bring Ancient Greece to life as well. * Parents in Touch *
The story is fun and exciting, with a touch of danger, making it a compelling read, and along the way there's a lot to be learned about Ancient Greece - possibly without the reader even realising it!... This is a series I can't wait to share with my grandson when he's older. * Our Book Reviews *
The Ancient Greek Mysteries make up a fun and action-packed series of stories that are perfect for introducing readers in KS2 to the topic of Ancient Greece. The books can be enjoyed as reading for pleasure but they are also absolutely packed with details about daily life in Ancient Greek times, including food, clothing and jobs. Each story opens up conversations about wider issues like the topic of slavery and attitudes towards class status and gender. * Alison @ BooksForTopics *
