If you're like me, you like to read. Or maybe not. I'm going to try and post about an interesting book I've read lately. Today's book is(or should I say series?).....
The Roman Mysteries series by Caroline Lawrence
http://www.romanmysteries.com
This series is about four young children who live in Ostia, a port town of Ancient Rome. Each book has it's own 'case' which Flavia(the freeborn Roman), Nubia(the ex-slave), Jonathan(Jewish boy, son of doctor) and Lupus(the mute ex-beggar boy) solve.
In every book you learn at least one new fact about Ancient Rome. You also learn ancient Rome vocabulary words too. Each book has a carefully written plot. This series is too hard to put down once you've started. I recommend this series for anyone aged 11 +
