Detectives in Togas: A Chapter Book Mystery About Seven Friends Using Logic in Ancient Rome for Kids (Ages 8-12)
<div>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.<br><br>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></div>
