<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Seven boys in Ancient Rome solve strange crimes in this new history-mystery series. Rufus admits he wrote "Caius is a dumbbell" on his tablet at school, but he denies breaking into the schoolroom. Rufus is doomed unless his classmates can find out who's really responsible. Illustrations.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In these two delightful history-mysteries, seven boys in Ancient Rome solve strange crimes . . . thanks to some help from their cranky teacher, a little bit of logic, and a lot of amusing misadventure. <p/>Yes, Rufus wrote CAIUS IS A DUMBBELL on his tablet at school, but no, he did <i>not </i>break into the schoolroom, did <i>not</i> tie up his teacher, and certainly did <i>not </i>paint his slur about Caius on the Temple of Minerva (even if it <i>is </i>in Rufus's own handwriting). Rufus is doomed unless his six classmates can find out who is <i>really </i>responsible. Every hour seems to bring a new, confusing clue . . . until the boys finally stumble upon someone who is not what he appears to be. <br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>An original and humorous mystery story . . . tied neatly into a plot that has continuous suspense. . . . The boys are real in their mischief and eager deducing, and the historical details are so naturally a part of the story that the whole has a liveliness that the pictures suggest.--<i>The</i> <i>Horn Book</i> <br><br>
