Ancient Rome An Interactive History Adventure by Rachael Hanel*

You Choose Books
Both my eight and eleven year old read this book to themselves to support our study of Ancient Rome.
After reading it, my eight year old was able to summarize major factors for Rome's demise which we have not covered yet!
The reading level is easy enough for third graders but the content will appeal to up to junior high students. 
Tons of history packed into an engaging format.
*Highly recommend.
-Borrowed from the library.
Hi-Lo book-appeals to older student with lower reading ability.

My ten year old son read this book to himself.  He enjoyed it so much that he read it in less than 24 hours!
A lot of Greek history was incorporated into this adventure story which takes place in the underworld, Hades.
