History Spies: Escape from Vesuvius by Jo Foster
Pompeii, AD 79: Vesuvius is about to erupt. The Department of Historical Accuracy needs a History Spy with nerves of steel to find out what the city was really like . . . Your mission: find out what happened at a gladiator battle, what went on at the luxurious banquets, and why everyone in Pompeii was so smelly! Finally, witness the eruption that buried the city for 2,000 years. Join top History Spy Charlie Cartwright in his adventures as he travels through space and time, dodging bombs, dinosaurs and erupting volcanoes.
Jo Foster has always liked finding things out and writing about them, so was delighted to find out that this could be a job. After studying history at Cambridge University, Jo worked in TV history documentaries for several years. She has also written a series of books called History Spies, showing time-travelling kids how to blend in wherever and whenever they find themselves, and Why Would A Dog Need A Parachute? Questions and answers about the Second World War: Published in Association with Imperial War Museums. Scoular Anderson is a Scottish author and illustrator.
