An action-packed, laugh-out-loud funny Greek mythology

adventure from the author of My Family and Other Romans!

I’m Silvia, an ordinary kid just like you. At least, I was

ordinary until I wound up in Ancient Rome and found out

I'm a demigoddess.

Yeah, that took me by surprise too. But seriously, travelling

back in time is nothing compared to what’s happening now .

. . 

Medusa the gorgon wants her head back – and she’s

chosen me to find it!

Packed full of Roman and Ancient Greek mythology - as

you've never seen it before!

A laugh-out-loud funny family caper full of excitement

and heart: perfect for fans of Loki, Horrible

Histories and Who Let the Gods Out? 

Readers will go on a time-travel adventure – with

a LARPing twist

Perfect for ages 8 and up; sure to be a hit with KS2 readers,

as Romans are a staple on the curriculum
