I’m Silvia Fortuna Juno De Luca: half-schoolgirl, half-goddess. Yes – actual Roman goddess.

But it all starts with Dad. He was messing about, re-enacting battles at Hadrian’s Wall, when – pow! – he’s transported to . . . Ancient Rome.

I go after him because someone has to. And now, the fate of my whole family rests on me . . .

The Romans as you’ve never seen them before!

A laugh-out-loud funny family caper full of excitement and heart: perfect for fans of Loki, Horrible Histories and Who Let the Gods Out? 

Readers will go on a time-travel adventure – with a LARPing twist – as Livi and her family are catapulted back to Ancient Rome

Perfect for ages 8 and up; sure to be a hit with KS2 readers, as Romans are a staple on the curriculum
