Mystery of the Roman Ransom

In Mystery of the Roman Ransom it seems the young Roman students can’t get anything right. Maybe if they had completed their math homework they would have known their teacher’s birthday is long gone. To add to the boys’ conundrum, the servant they bought as a present for their teacher’s birthday isn’t just an ordinary Gallic slave but a courier on the run. To top it all off, the message the Gaul is carrying requests the assassination of a Roman senator—the father of one of the boys! Find out how these seven young detectives save the day in Mystery of the Roman Ransom. Mystery of the Roman Ransom by Henry Winterfeld was first published in 1971 and continues to entertain children with its fascinating Roman setting and its lively cast of characters.
