Throw in some Pliny and there was no way I was about to start this series anywhere else.
It has Pompeii under volcanic attack in it – big selling point for me. Specifically, the second one, The Secrets of Vesuvius. I would never like to think of myself as an Old Adult…Īnd so when a writer I hugely respect, Ben Kane, recommended Caroline Lawrence’s Roman Mysteries to me, I snapped one up.
Just as a good animation film should deliver treats for all its viewers, regardless of their ages, so a well-written book, ostensibly aimed at younger readers, is more than likely to contain some goodies for the less young reader. I tend to approach Young Adult or Children’s literature in the same way that I do any other book, with an open mind and an excited sense of anticipation.
