This is an engaging story with some mature themes and is the first book in The Roman Mysteries series by Caroline Lawrence. I love that it features a smart, compassionate, and independent young girl as one of the main characters. The book is a quick read and offers an interesting look into ancient Roman history. I enjoyed reading the story and our oldest really liked it too. We look forward to reading the second book in the series, The Secrets of Vesuvius, soon.

A group of children who set out to catch a dog killer and thief. Friendship, forgiveness, disability, death, suicide and more. An entertaining tale.
