by Caroline Lawrence (Author)
Hot-headed as ever, Flavia Gemina is determined to prove to her handsome tutor Aristo that she really is a detective of the highest order. At first, the mystery of the missing bread rolls seems like an easy - and rather dull - case to solve. But it stumps Flavia and her friends ...until she investigates the meaning behind the strange word games that the slave Romulus likes to play.

Book Overview: One of ten specially commissioned 1 books to celebrate World Book Day 2007. Complete in itself, this story also chronicles the lives of our four young detective heroes between books 5 and 6 in the series. With the current mania for all things to do with puzzles and code-breaking, this story is perfectly-themed. As with all Caroline's books, The Code of Romulus is full of authentic detail, bringing the sights and sounds of the past to life. Over 560,000 copies of the Roman Mysteries have been sold to date. Filming of a family prime-time TV series based on the books gets underway in summer 06, for transmission on the BBC in 2007. Exciting tie-in and spin-off publishing programme planned for 2007 which will consolidate the unprecedented growth of the series in 2006.
