Blood Oath: Book 1 (Gladiator School), $6.95
I love coming across good books for boys, and Gladiator School — which is set in ancient Rome — is a thrilling series. Book 1 follows Lucius, the 13-year-old son of a Roman senator, whose privileged life crumbles when his dad is accused of being a spy and a traitor and then disappears! With gladiators, slaves and criminals, guilt and innocence, and coded messages, boys are sure to love this action packed adventure.
