(4) 4-6 The friendship between a rich Roman girl and her slave is threatened by the family's decision to remove both girls from the household--one to serve in a temple and the other to be a concubine. Gladiators, a forbidden romance, and an erupting Mount Vesuvius all add to the busy melodrama of this historical fiction. An author's note is appended.
