Set in Imperial Rome at the time of Emperor Hadrian, a teenaged boy travels across the Empire from his home in Britain to seek an audience with the Emperor. Along the way he meets up with the villains who are trying to stop him, a famous charioteer who helps him, apathetic solicitors who won't help him, and finally the Emperor. At every step of his adventure, he remains loyal, demonstrates courage and prudence, and does not give up even when it seems impossible. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

I especially loved the compelling, vivid, and well-developed characters. The heroes and allies are immediately likeable and endearing, and the villains and unlikeable characters are despicable and believable. I also really enjoyed the relationships between the characters, including both sweet friendships and intriguing enemyhoods.
I am so incredibly glad that a dear friend recommended this book and this author to me! I'm indebted to her, because I wouldn't have discovered this author at all or read the book so soon if she hadn't pushed me to. I've been missing out by not experiencing this author's books sooner! This is my first book by Geoffrey Trease, but it will most definitely not be the last. I look forward to reading many more books by this author.
Thanks to the wonderful author Rosemary Sutcliff, I feel at home in Roman Britain and enjoy reading good books in that setting, but I've been able to find next to none by other authors. I'm so excited to have found a good and wholesome book in that era.
I was thinking during the beginning of the book that it would be 4.5 at least but there was almost nothing I didn't like, and it definitely earned a full 5 stars. The book actually gained its five stars in a single moment instead of gradually...because during one scene a quarter of the way into the book, I identified with something the protagonist went through, and it made me cry. An immediate 5 stars! *grins*
A fabulous book in every area! Highly recommended to fans of history and historical fiction, teens and up. 5 stars. ( )
