‘Perfect funny escapism with added Roman mythology … Charming and mischievous!’  LOUIE STOWELL, author of LOKI

I’m Silvia Fortuna Juno De Luca: half-schoolgirl, half-goddess. Yes – actual Roman goddess.

But it all starts with Dad. He was messing about, re-enacting battles at Hadrian’s Wall, when – pow! – he’s transported to . . . Ancient Rome.

I go after him because someone has to. And now, the fate of my whole family rests on me . . .
