In the fifth exciting adventure, the Son of Spartapuss (nicknamed ’SOS’ for short) visits Rome and falls in love with a female with the most beautiful name he has ever heard. He invites the fair Haireena on a date to the Emperor’s unfinished Golden Palace. But things get off to a shaky start when the pair are discovered by the cruel emperor Nero, who decides that Haireena will make the perfect present for his favourite gladiator.After breaking out of Hades Row, (Rome’s Worst Prison), SOS chases the gladiator only to find that he’s taken Haireena on a secret mission in search of a treasure cavern at the source of the river Nile. Their journey to the Kingdom of the Kushites is full of shocks, crocs and lots of magic, courtesy of Cleocatra’s Kushion.What the reviewers say:’For me, though, the kicker is the hilarious scene in which the parallel narratives finally meet... where Son of Spartapuss takes his father through a list of all the terrible things that have happened to him as part of his journey, and Spartapuss responds in turn with 'So have I'. Sheer, laugh-out-loud brilliance.’Read in a Single Sitting’The characters are wonderfully named - how about Eddipuss for starters? A wonderfully punny story which had me reading the book right through as soon as I received it. SOS (Son of Spartapuss) falls in love with the wondrously named Haireena. After a disastrous first date, Haireena is taken by Emperor Nero’s gladiator and we follow their adventures through the Land of the Purramids as they seek treasure at the source of the River Nile. A really funny and beautifully written story, whisking you back to the days of Ancient Rome - a great way to interest children in history. This is No 5 in the Spartapuss series, and if you haven’t already read the others, I urge you to do so.’ http://www.parentsintouch.co.uk/
