Title: The Thieves of Ostia (Roman Mystery #1) by Caroline Lawrence ISBN: 0-7613-1582-9 Publisher: Roaring Brook Pub. Date: 01 May, 2002 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $15.95 |

Summary: DO NOT READ THIS BOOK!!!!!
Comment: The book I am reviewing is a fictional story.
It is an adventure / mystery set in Ostia the port of ancient Rome in the year 79 AD.
The main characters are four children, Flavia Gemmina a Roman sea captains daughter, Nubia an African slave girl, Jonathan a Jewish boy and Lupus the mute beggar boy who become friends. The book is about who is killing the dogs of Ostia.
My favourite bit of the story is when they found that there were only two people that could have done the killings of the dogs but they don't know witch one did it and when they discovered the tomb of the Girl that was killed by a mad dogs bite.
I feel quite sorry for them because they are always in dangerous situations. My favourite character is Lupus because he's the bravest.
I'd really like to meet them in real life because I'd get myself into big scary adventures.
This book is 195 action packed pages long together with maps and my one is signed by the author.
I would recommend this book for age seven and upwards. To Boys and Girls, especially if you are interested in history.
Anyone who is of a nervous disposition, pregnant or if you have a weak stomache or has heart-disorder
DO NOT READ THIS BOOK!!!!!

Summary: The theives of ostia
Comment: The Theives of Ostia is the first of an amazing series of 6. It begins in Ostia, port town of rome in about 90 ad. 4 children meet up to solve a mystery, this book contains many cliffhangers and shocks that will send your mind reeling. Secrets and lies tangle up in this book and at the end all ends meet. The Theives of Ostia contains magnificent historical detail, many classic teachers use these books as reference for their teaching. This book also shows how the tension mounted between pagans, jews and christians in the great roman empire. This book is marvellously entertaing as well as educative! The most entertaining part in the books is when you expect something to happen but it always happens in the opposite way that you would have imagined. The theives of Ostia even contains slight humour. But this book is not all about adventure and small children, it has love and the feelings of rejections. Some deaths in this book have brought me to tears, this is a truly emotional novel. The reason I chose this rating is because this book contins a touch of every style of writing possible and merges it together, it combines the best with the best! A competiter worthy of J.K. rowling. A must read for all children intrested in the roman empire!
