Description: Travel back in time to view the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in the Roman Empire. Join Tranio the son of an actor and his friend Livia the baker's daughter in witnessing the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. 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. 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. Perfect for first and second graders studying the Romans in school.
