An action-packed, laugh-out-loud funny Greek mythology
adventure from the author of My Family and Other Romans!

Hiya! I’m Silvia, an ordinary kid just like you. At least, I was ordinary until I wound up in Ancient Rome as a demi-goddess. Yeah, that took me by surprise too. But seriously, travelling back in time is nothing compared to what’s happening now: Medusa the gorgon wants her head back – and she’s chosen me to find it! Packed full of Roman and Ancient Greek mythology – as you’ve never seen it 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 Perfect for ages 8 and up; sure to be a hit with KS2 readers, as Romans are a staple on the curriculum   PRAISE FOR MY FAMILY AND OTHER ROMANS: ’Perfect funny escapism with added Roman mythology … Charming and mischievous!’ LOUIE STOWELL, author of LOKI ’Full of fun and adventure, this time-travel tale will show you the Romans as you’ve never imagined them before.’ THE WEEK JUNIOR ’AMAZING! I snort-laughed through this hilarious Roman romp. Perfect for anyone learning about the Romans. Love the sprinkling of Latin too!’ RASHMI SIRDESHPANDE ‘Pure chaotic hilarity’ S. J. WILLS

I'm sure if you're a child who's really into ancient Rome this is a good read... but the "down with the kids" phrasing and constant use of like grated on me!

Lots of slang words AND roman language, so would be tricky for anyone with limited vocabulary.
