Reviews
The characters come alive on the page and you find yourself rooting for Marcus and his new family, and booing the Romans. -- Saviour Pirotta * An Awfully Big Blog Adventure *
I have said this often, but I love to encourage children to read historical fiction set in a period they are studying at school - and Tony Bradman writes some of the best around, with their blend of exciting stories with excellent period detail to bring the history alive.... An intriguing insight into the early history of our nation. * Parents in Touch *
As ever, this excellent author makes history exciting and relevant and I learnt quite a lot about Rome and the invasion of Britannia that I didn't know... it is packed with fierce action and tense with the on-going pull between the different cultures that Marcus has experienced. * Karen Argent, The LetterPress Project *
