Editorial Reviews

"The Shadow of the Volcano: Shadows From the Past, Book Five is a thrilling and exciting read, and it's most highly recommended." READERS' FAVORITE BOOK REVIEWS

“What marks this book out as special is the level of detail about daily life in Pompeii… with enough plot and sub-plot to capture the attention of the reader. There is plenty to stir the nerves and make you wonder ‘Will they, won’t they?’ before the inevitable eruption occurs. This is another superb episode from Wendy Leighton-Porter.” JEMIMA PETT, author of The Princelings of the East series

“What a wonderful, imaginative way to teach children ancient history. Life in Pompeii just prior to the eruption of Mount Vesuvius is brilliantly told.” IONA CARROLL, author

“Author Wendy Leighton-Porter has such a lovely sense of humour that brings even the smallest characters vividly to life… This book is a real winner.” FIONA INGRAM, author of the Chronicles of the Stone series
