So another interesting children book about a group of children as they are representing in a roman ceremony. Portugal has some old towns, so there are parties, ceremonies where people act a people from that time would have done. Medieval fairs is the most common but there are some roman stuff... the latter more on cities with roman ruins. Our more famous ruin is without doubt Conimbriga where Coimbra's name comes from. Basically it was an old roman town that was discover long ago, hundreds of years ago but only in the end of 1800 there were excavation because the town was beneath earth. And it's big tourist attraction.
I am not going to spoil but this one deals with an ancient treasury supposedly hidden underneath, There is also a gang of criminals that want the same stuff. As per normal Uma aventura , the bad guys are really bad and the good guys really good. There is no room for grey areas as you probably would expect from a children novels.
I've been reading for 30 years and while they write I Will read - unfortunately due to the age of the two women who write I highly doubt there will be many more - I do hope I am wrong!
