The Secrets of Vesuvius: The Roman Mysteries: Book II

173 pp. October, 2002 | Trade ISBN 0-7613-1583-7 $$15.95 | Library ISBN 0-7613-2603-0 $$22.90
(3) 4-6 This rip-roaring mystery set in ancient Rome and Pompeii follows the four children from The Thieves of Ostia as they try to solve a mysterious riddle and survive the eruption of Vesuvius. The book is geared to maximum readability, with historical description made palatable by the fast-moving action and each chapter ending in a (sometimes overdramatic) cliffhanger.
