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:
