Baked beans might seem harmless but, in the wrong hands and the wrong millennium, they can do a surprising amount of damage. 11-year-old Oliver Starling thinks Romans are ancient history until he teams up with Agent Owl to stop an evil mastermind from conquering Roman Britain with baked beans and nappy pins. Armed with only a photo-booth time machine and a pocket history guide, can Oliver and Owl keep the villainous Dr Midnight from changing the course of history forever
'An enjoyable read which would appeal to older primary-age readers who love history, adventure and the occasional joke about underwear!' * TheIshMother *
'A fun story that is easy to read and very enjoyable.' * WhatsGoodToRead *
'I loved this! A brilliant blend of humour and fun, and a proper adventure too. Ideal for children studying the Romans, but genuinely a great read in its own right.' -- Lizzie * AmazonReviews *
'This is a fabulous story for children aged 7+. They will love the humour and it is great for children who have a fascination for the Ancient Romans.' -- Elaine * AmazonReviews *
