Those children who prefer reading fiction will probably learn historical facts without realising it, while those who prefer non-fiction may well find that they are caught up in the adventure and action...This may well turn out to be a very effective format for hooking in children who profess not to enjoy reading fiction.

This exciting action-packed new series is perfect to get boys (...adventure-loving girls will also enjoy the books) interested in history. This fast-paced novel with its vivid historical background is a great way to teach history! It's a fascinating new perspective on well-known eras in history, written to engage reluctant readers.
