The Secrets of Vesuvius (Roman Mysteries) (Children’s Audiobooks)

The Secrets of Vesuvius (Roman Mysteries) (Caroline Lawrence) is set up as one continuous listen: cover, runtime, and a chapter list on the same page.

It’s the summer of AD 79, and Flavia Gemina, the sea captain’s daughter – along with her friends Jonathan the Jewish boy, Nubia the African slave-girl, and Lupus the homeless beggar-boy – set sail for the Bay of Naples, to stay with Flavia’s uncle near Pompeii. They are soon absorbing in trying to solve a riddle that may lead to treasure. But then tragedy strikes – Mount Vesuvius erupts and the children are fleeing for their lives from one of the worst natural disasters ever recorded. Not just a mystery – this is an absolutely edge-of-seat action adventure that makes you feel you were there! Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend us your ears: listen to more Roman Mysteries . ©2006 Caroline Lawrence (P)2010 Listening Library
