This book is a graphic comic about Rome. The book has stories about Pompeii to Romulus and Remus all in a graphic comical form. The comics each end with a conclusion of each hilarious remake.
I enjoyed this book as it was like little bites of the story, not as a whole book for just one story about Rome. It was humorous and story filled. I would rate this book a 8 because it is really humorous but it is a little too short for me as I like to read long novels.]]> 2017-10-18 04:53:19 UTC https://padlet.com/elyssesiau_6sg/xw5pplgv1ig2/wish/198093563 elyssesiau_6sg https://padlet.com/elyssesiau_6sg/xw5pplgv1ig2/wish/200313686 By E.D Baker

This book is about normal children who become spies. There are 10 stories in it about children. There are different war settings in it: the Revolutionary War, The Texas war of independence, The Civil War, WW1, WW2 and the Korean war. The ten children in these stories are normally rebels. Only Belle Boyd, the rebel Joan of Arc got caught. Most of the children are about 13 and older.
I enjoyed this book as it was a true story and it was also quite adventurous. I also like it because of the bravery of each child.
