‘The day after tomorrow, Vesuvius is going to erupt. And when it does, it will completely bury Pompeii ... A lot of people are going to die.’
On Zak’s thirteenth birthday, a strange girl called Maia appears in his classroom … out of thin air. But before he has time to work out where she has come from, the two of them somehow travel back in time and find themselves running for their lives through the streets of ancient Pompeii, chased by sinister hooded figures.
And when they realise they have arrived in the Roman city only days before Vesuvius is due to erupt, their desperation to find a way back home becomes even greater.
But who exactly is Maia? And can Zak really trust her?
From the award-winning author of The Boy in the Mirror, VESUVIUS is Book One in The Roman Time Machine series.
