Quills Award-winning author Ally Sherrick. PRAISE FOR BLACK POWDER
- WINNER OF THE HISTORIAL ASSOCIATION YOUNG QUILLS AWARD: ' ... a
wonderfully explosive adventure set in the turbulent year of the
gunpowder plot in Black Powder with impossibly divided loyalties.'
JULIA GOLDING, AUTHOR OF THE DIAMOND OF DRURY LANE 'With its
constant reversals and twists and turns, Tom's story is almost as
complex as the pliot and counter-plot of the Gunpowder Treason
itself ... The writing is lively and the pace never flags.'

as a high-born girl in Roman Londinium, her fate is sealed:
marriage and children. Then her father is murdered, her mother and
brother disappear, and Vita flees from a shadowy enemy. Disguised
as a slave at the gladiator's arena, she forges an unlikely bond
with Brea, a native Briton gladiatrix - and her wolf. Together,
they resolve to discover and bring the killer to justice before
Vita's identity is revealed ... A rip-roaring adventure set in
Roman London from the rising queen of middle-grade historical
fiction, Ally Sherrick Vita, nicknamed 'Little Owl' by her father,
is an unlikely hero - but when her father is murdered she has to
uncover the truth, even if it means finding unlikely friends Themes
