Mystery of the Roman Ransom

Paperback. Pub Date: 2002 Pages: 240 Publisher: Sandpiper [intro] 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. It seems the boys can get nothing right: Their teacher's fiftieth birthday is long past (they should have done their math homework); the servant they bought as a present for his birthday isn't just your run-of-the-mill Gaul slave but a courier running for his life; and. to top it all off. the message he's carrying requests the assassination of a Roman senator-the father of one of the boys. The purchase of a slave for their teacher leads a group of schoolboys in ancient Rome into a dangerous intrigue.
