| Great review of life in Rome. Good pictures. Fun mystery for kids to solve. My girls ages 6 & 8 loved the book, especially the mystery. We have enjoyed Ardagh's History Detectives of Greece and Egypt as well. |

| I did this review in 2005 for one of my MLS classes. After three years, and one working as a teacher-librarian, I decided that it was about time to make it more public. This book is awful and librarians should be aware of its bias. I am originally from Chile and I really dislike the idea that American children can get such an inaccurate view of my country. It's true that I carry my own personal bias, but this book doesn't deserve to be in any school library shelf.

| I, myself enjoyed this one and have found it useful to read to a class and then using the book as a tool to start discussions.
