Join Tranio, the son of an actor, and his friend Livia, the baker's daughter, in witnessing the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD79. Tranio, like most Roman boys, likes to watch whatever is going on: tradesmen selling their goods, ships unloading their exotic cargoes, politicians making speeches in the forum. But one hot August day a very different scene unfolds. The ground begins to shake, the sky to darken. People run gasping for air. Heading for the harbor, Tranio and his friend Livia hide on a boat and witness one of the most terrifying moments in recorded history-the eruption of Mount Vesuvius and the destruction of their beloved city, Pompeii. Although this book handles the sensitive subject of a tragic natural disaster, this book perfectly pitched for years 2 and 3. It is great in explaining the daily life of Romans from a child's point of view. Perfectly aligned to the KS2 curriculum, for those studying the Romans in school. Review: Inspirational historical story with great illustrations - This was purchased to use with pupils studying both the Romans and Natural Disasters - what a great story to help link the two and bring events and times to life in the children's imaginations! it proved useful for stimulating discussions, encouraging questions and inspiring writing. For anyone not a teacher out there, it is also a great children's story and interesting read! Review: Fantastic - I lost my first copy of this book and still feel that a colleague saw it and wanted it for themselves. However, I bought a new copy to use with my new class. It is great in explaining the daily life of Romans from a kids point of view, and to offer a view point about the disaster. So many schemes recommend that the children write newspaper articles about such events. This offers a way into the story and offers information that they can use as if they were eye-witnesses themselves. Also contains great art ideas to use in Art lessons, especially its use of colour and pattern. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 6,528 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 3 in Children's Historical Fiction on Ancient Civilizations 547 in Action & Adventure for Children (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 771 Reviews | ## Images ![Escape from Pompeii - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91UtDna+M9L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Inspirational historical story with great illustrations *by S***S on 17 March 2019* This was purchased to use with pupils studying both the Romans and Natural Disasters - what a great story to help link the two and bring events and times to life in the children's imaginations! it proved useful for stimulating discussions, encouraging questions and inspiring writing.
