A bump on the head during a trip to Bath sees Gus whisked back to Roman times in this exciting time-slip adventure from bestselling author Karen McCombie.
Mum has taken Gus and his big sister, Luna, on a family trip to Bath to find out more about the Romans, but while on the way to the Roman Baths, Gus bumps his head and is whisked 2,000 years back in time to Aquae Sulis.
There, he meets Juno and Felix, and is soon working alongside them as a slave. Accompanying the Master on his daily trip to the Baths, Gus is plunged into a steaming world of cold plunges, sacred springs, flagons and strigils.
But when he's framed as a jewel thief, will Gus be able to escape and find his way back home?
Particularly suitable for readers aged 7+ with a reading age of 7.
