Six boys who attend Xanthos' School must prove that their classmate Rufus did not deface the temple by writing "Caius is a Dumbbell". All evidence points to him but the boys are convinced of his innocence. Together, with their teacher-Xanthos-they investigate their town of Rome and discover some surprising information about a prominent figure.
Very exciting. A great way to tie in Roman history in a fun, effortless way!
Takes place during the time Rome was thriving as an empire. Lots of references to Roman gods/mythology.
*Highly recommend.
Points to discuss: word jackass, drunkenness, **spoiler alert****-a man jumps off a roof into a pool but there is not water in it and dies.
