Billionaire Solomon Daisy is obsessed with the skeleton of a blue eyed African girl from Roman London. When his tech guys accidentally invent a time machine he decides to send schoolboy Alex Papas on a mission to find her. Time travel is easier for kids, and Alex knows Greek and a little Latin. The portable portal is placed in London’s Mithraeum, recently restored to its original 3rd century AD location. So it should be simple for Alex to go through and find the blue-eyed girl.
But Time Travel is full of surprises, especially when one of the rules is Naked you go and naked you must return. Ages 8+
When 12-year-old schoolboy Alex Papas is sent back to Roman London there are just three rules:
1. Naked you go and naked you must return.
2. Drink, don’t eat.
3. As little interaction as possible.
But Time Travel is no fun fair. There are more ways to die than Alex could have guessed.
Alex and his friend Dinu have vowed never to go back in time again; the rules are just too hard:
1. Naked you go and naked you must return.
2. Drink, don’t eat.
3. As little interaction as possible.
But when their mentor makes them an irresistible offer to go back to ancient Athens to meet the philosopher Socrates, they accept… and are soon tempted to do something which might threaten the very fabric of the universe.
