About this item
Joe, Sam, and Fred discover that "When in Rome, you might not really want to do as the Romans do." Hard knock gladiator school, cheating chariot racers, and a poison-packing emperor are just the beginning of the guys' Roman education. Their only hope to escape the bloodthirsty crowd in the Coliseum is to find a certain librarium . . . or was that the vomitorium? And you thought adding XVII and XXIX was tough! "Told at a quicksilver pace, the stories are furious and funny . . . these volumes will be requested time after time." --Booklist
