I’m Silvia Fortuna Juno De Luca: half-schoolgirl, half-goddess.
Yes – actual Roman goddess.
But it all starts with Dad. He was messing about, re-enacting
battles at Hadrian’s Wall, when – pow! – he’s
transported to . . . Ancient Rome.
I go after him because someone has to. And now, the fate of my
whole family rests on me . . .
The Romans as you’ve never seen them before!
A laugh-out-loud funny family caper full of excitement
and heart: perfect for fans of Loki, Horrible
Histories and Who Let the Gods Out?
Readers will go on a time-travel adventure – with
a LARPing twist – as Livi and her family are catapulted
back to Ancient Rome
Perfect for ages 8 and up; sure to be a hit with KS2 readers,
