Detectives in Togas

I read this book aloud to my children for bedtime, and near the middle of the book, they didn't want to quit reading, and were dying to know what happened next! For a children's book, I didn't think the ‘mystery' part of the book would be that deep, but surprisingly enough, I was still left trying to figure out what was going on up until the last 1/4 of the book!
I loved the way they fit the history in with the story, a great way to let my kiddos step back in time and pretend to be hanging out with children from Ancient Rome!

This is a  nostalgic book for me and maybe I'm nicer to it than I should be. It's a short and fairly entertaining read, but there's some elements that aged badly—nothing that couldn't be fixed with a quick edit though
