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 . . .

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,
