Media 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
