Book Synopsis

A fast-paced, interactive adventure series for kids, featuring death-defying moments in history! This time featuring Gladiators!

Step into the roaring crowds of the Colosseum and journey through ancient Rome like never before! In this action-packed choose-what-happens-next story, kids follow a 12-year-old boy who's swept into a world of gladiator training, dangerous battles, and the powerful forces that shaped Roman history. Every chapter reveals real facts about Roman life--like the kinds of gladiators who battled in the arena and what it took to stay alive--woven right into the story's twists and turns.

But the most exciting part? Kids decide what happens next! Will you fight for glory in the Colosseum or race for victory at the Circus Maximus? Uncover a secret plot inside the emperor's palace or escape the city? Each choice changes the path of the young hero... and even how history unfolds! With thrilling challenges, surprising outcomes, and endless ways to explore ancient Rome, this adventure puts kids at the center of the action--where every decision could lead to glory, danger, or an untimely end.
