Kathy Lee has sold over 60,000 books for younger readers. She is the author of The Lost Book Trilogy, The Fabulous Phoebe series, The Mallenford Mysteries, Deadly Emily and No Angel, among other titles. Kathy was born in Montrose, Scotland. She studied zoology and then worked with computers, but always knew that she wanted to write. While her three sons were still young she wrote her first children's book - sitting on the stairs trying to get them to sleep at night!
I am 7 years old and I just read this amazing book about a boy who has been captured and taken to Rome as a slave. It is full of adventure and I learnt a lot of facts about Rome. I enjoyed it so much that I've just started the second book in the series.
I enjoyed this book so much that I read it in 3 hours. Kathy Lee's books are amazing and I would recommend them to anyone.
I bought all the books in the series. My son (aged 11) said they were all very exciting and he read each one in a day.
About
In this new title, Bryn, who was previously enslaved in Rome where he became a Christian, is now 15 and living in his British homeland.
A friend arrives from Gaul with news that the hated persecutor of Christians, Emperor Nero, is dead. Felix persuades Bryn to return with him to Rome, where there is turmoil and Christians are still under threat. On the way they stop off in Massilia (current day Marseilles) where they meet Lazarus and hear the story of how Jesus raised him from the dead.
Many threats and adventures lie in wait as Bryn and Felix head back to Rome as another emperor is about to take power.
