A series that will delight young history buffs!

This is the kind of book I loved as a kid, and I'm still a history buff as a result. I received a free review copy so that I could share my insights as a homeschool mom. If your children like fiction that weaves in history and archaeology, this is a series that will delight! In GREGS THIRD ADVENTURE IN TIME, the suspense rises as he and his friend Rose encounter the Pirate in periods of time ranging from the Revolutionary War to Teddy Roosevelt. I highly recommend this book for young people ages 9-12! ~Joyce McPherson, author of THE PANDORA DEVICE

After developing a taste for historical mysteries, I was fortunate to discover Steven Saylor's Roman Blood, and quickly realized that this was the beginning of a meticulously researched and beautifully written series.  None of the series entries has disappointed and I was glad to discover the details of Gordianus's youthful voyage of discovery.  In future, when I recommend this series, I'll suggest that readers start with The Seven Wonders.  It's as wonderful introduction to Roma Sub Rosa as Roman Blood.

I bought both Swindled and Nabbed for my nieces and nephews, but before turning them over to the kids, read them myself!  The books each provide an engaging mystery set in a different time period, and give kids the opportunity to learn about events going on at that time.  One particularly nice thing about the books is that they will appeal to a wide variety of children -- some will be taken with the story alone, others will really enjoy learning about the history of the US, forensic science, and detective skills.

Such a great book to expose kids to age-appropriate explanations of history and other cultures!  The book is filled with beautiful photos and interesting information that makes it a fun read on the go.  The whole series seems to be an amazing find.  I received this product at a discounted rate for my unbiased and honest review.  I can't wait to read the rest of the books in this series with my kids.

The multi-talented Carole P. Roman, whose `Captain No Beard' books continue to stay on top of the list of children's favorites, added another series of countries to explore, and now adds yet another series that enrich children's knowledge of other historical periods  to this date these include Colonial America, Renaissance Italy, Ancient Greece, and Elizabethan England! Carole not only has mastered the art of story telling and education but she also now opens doors of wonder about past times and periods that may just well be the introduction to history for the lucky children that are exposed to these well illustrated and knowledgeable books. This book about THE MIDDLE AGES is illustrated by Marteya Arkova.

Caroles approach to this book is to inform the reader about the fall of the Roman Empire and its influence, the rise of feudal living and the disparity between the gentry and the peasants, the castles and the villages, the cathedrals, the modes of education and work, the difference in doctors who depended on the zodiac to treat their patients with potions, and much, much more. And at the end of the book Carole provides a glossary of important people of the time and words commonly used.

In other words, Carole makes leaning history fun and exciting and enhances childrens appreciation of the world of the past. Excellent on every level. Grady Harp, July 16

Well 12 yr old found this series at library and discovered more of the books on-line. They are very interesting..uses historical facts to write in some non-historical drama..but we discuss the book/history  afterward

Super storytelling--neat mixture of Hardy Boys adventure with historical nuggets of information...and the local references to Richmond make this a winner for all ages. Would be a great "read-aloud" for home or school. Believable characters and dialogue--this third installment in the series further develops the personalities of the junior sleuths. Thoroughly enjoyable....waiting for book four!

My 8 year old loooves this series!  Although I planned to study the Civil War before reading this, he grabbed the book and blazed through it.  We thoroughly enjoyed the Revolutionary War and Pioneer Adventure stories earlier, and each one makes us appreciate Ms. Kilbride even more, especially now that we have become homeschoolers.  She includes so much information in an engaging format.  The funtastic unit studies are icing on the cake.  They are just as fun, irresistible, and informative as her books and a resource that shouldn't be missed.  The whole family got a bang out of the bottle/balloon activity.  We are very grateful we were given a copy of The Civil War Adventure in exchange for our review.
